Brennan Poole (born April 11, 1991) is an American professional driver. A longtime competitor and six-time winner in the ARCA Racing Series, he currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 48 Chevrolet Camaro for Chip Ganassi Racing.

Poole's racing interests began at the age of five, when his father purchased him a quarter midget car. He turned his first laps at Capital Speedway in California, where Jeff Gordon also began his racing career. Poole began his competitive career in 1999 running quarter midgets, winning over 90 races and the 2002 National Championship. He would proceed to win 96 events in Legends Cars, seven Texas World Dirt Track wins, and 10 wins in UARA late models including the 2011 championship.

Poole made his debut in the ARCA Racing Series, a sister series to NASCAR, at Salem Speedway in 2011. Driving the 55 Chevrolet for Venturini Motorsports, Poole led 31 laps en route to his first career win. Poole ran three more races that year in Venturini's 25 car, scoring a pole and a top five finish at Pocono Raceway. Poole ran the full 2012 schedule for Venturini in the 25 car, earning 15 top tens, three poles, and two wins to finish 3rd in points. Despite the success, Poole was forced to run part-time schedules over the next two years for Venturini. He posted two wins and four total top fives in five 2013 races. In 2014, Poole again scored four top fives and a victory at Kentucky Speedway in the No. 15 Zaxby's Toyota Camry while filling in for John Wes Townley. Poole had signed a contract with Team BCR (which had won four 2014 races with Grant Enfinger) to run 10 races in 2015, but later withdrew from ARCA competition to focus on opportunities in NASCAR.
