Derek Kneeland competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series East in 2026, driving the No. 28 Chevrolet for Pinnacle Racing Group.

By weekday role, Kneeland serves as a NASCAR spotter for Richard Childress Racing. He spots the No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Kyle Busch in the NASCAR Cup Series and the No. 21 Chevrolet Camaro SS for Austin Hill in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series.

His own driving career took a major step forward in 2026 when Pinnacle Racing Group, the team he has spotted for since its formation, gave him a developmental opportunity. As Pinnacle's spotter, Kneeland has been on the radio for 12 of the team's 19 all-time ARCA Menards Series victories, building deep familiarity with the program's cars and operations.

Kneeland made his ARCA Menards Series East debut at Hickory Motor Speedway on March 26, 2026, and finished fourth, validating the rare crossover from professional spotter to series-level driver.

His 2026 schedule remains limited to select East Series events, balancing his Cup and O'Reilly Auto Parts Series spotting responsibilities.
