Strathmont Racing Group

  • Kenneth Sich - Team Principal

    Kenneth or "Kensic" as his team calls him began his journey in motorsport behind the wheel, where he quickly ascended the ranks to compete in the GT class. His driving career was marked by determination and skill, but it was tragically cut short after a horrific accident left him unable to retain the physical flexibility required for competitive racing. Despite this setback, Kensic's deep understanding of the sport and his unwavering passion for racing positioned him as a sought-after talent in the motorsport community.

    Transitioning from driver to team management, Kensic built his expertise by serving as an assistant to the team principals at renowned racing teams such as Mercedes and McLaren, among others. His experience in these roles allowed him to develop a comprehensive understanding of team dynamics, race strategy, and the technical aspects of motorsport management.

    Recognizing his potential, Kensic partnered with Nikole, the owner of Strathmont Racing Group, to lead the team into new competitive arenas. His leadership and strategic vision have been instrumental in shaping the team's approach to racing. Shortly after joining Strathmont, Kensic made a pivotal decision by recruiting Ben Roehlke, a promising driver he discovered at his home track in Watkins Glen, NY.

    As Team Principal of Strathmont Racing Group, Kensic continues to apply his extensive knowledge and experience to drive the team’s success, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation within the organization. His leadership is defined by a commitment to precision, performance, and the pursuit of victory on the track.

  • Nikole Strathmont - Team Owner

    Nikole’s journey into the world of motorsport is rooted in a deep passion for both engineering and racing. As an engineer at Tesla, she was at the forefront of advanced automotive technology, working with cutting-edge electric vehicles. While she appreciated the innovation and sophistication of Tesla’s technology, Nikole found herself longing for the visceral experience of traditional racing—the sounds, smells, and mechanics of internal combustion engines that had initially sparked her love for cars.

    This desire led Nikole to make a significant career shift. Leaving her role at Tesla, she embarked on a new venture by founding Strathmont Racing Group. Her vision was to blend her technical expertise with the raw excitement of motorsport, creating a team that embodies both precision engineering and the timeless thrill of racing.

    As the owner of Strathmont Racing Group, Nikole brings a unique perspective to the team, combining her background in cutting-edge technology with a deep respect for the heritage and passion of traditional motorsport. Her leadership and innovative mindset continue to drive the team forward, making Strathmont Racing Group a formidable presence in the racing world.
