Racing career

Early career

Pembelton debuted in organized racing in 2019, running eight races at South Boston Speedway, collecting six top-fives. The following year, Pembelton won the Virginia Racers Challenge Series, which was run at Dominion Raceway and at Langley Speedway. In 2021, Pembelton was the 2021 Virginia State Division I and South East Division I rookie of the year. He also finished 10th in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series standings. [1]

Pembelton took the victory in the 2021 ValleyStar Credit Union 300, considered to be one of the biggest, most prestigious late-model races. Pembelton beat out drivers such as Sammy Smith, Bubba Pollard, Peyton Sellers, Corey Heim, and Timothy Peters becoming the youngest guest driver to claim victory in this race. [2] [3] In 2025, Pembelton scored his second Valley Star Credit Union win against Lee Pullium in the narrowest margin of victory in the race’s history at .024

On August 29, 2023, Mullins Racing announced that Pembelton would drive their No. 3 car in the main ARCA Series/ARCA Menards Series East combination race at Bristol. This would be his first ARCA start of the year. [4]
