Kitzmiller would announce his debut in the ARCA Menards Series in 2020, driving the No. 97 Chevrolet for CR7 Motorsports in a press release, saying "Without a doubt, this will be the biggest race of my career thus far and I've got a ton of knowledge and support behind me, I just hope to mind my manners and keep our No. 97 CR7 Motorsports Chevrolet out of trouble."[1] He would finish 32nd with engine troubles. Throughout the season, he would make six more starts with CR7 Motorsports, earning two top 10s that year at Talladega and Michigan. He would end up finishing 18th in the standings with 212 points.

In 2021, he would return to the series, again with CR7 Motorsports as a part-timer.[2] In six races, he would not get any top 10s, with a best of 11th at Daytona and Charlotte. He would have a worse season in 2021, finishing 24th in the standings with 177 points.
