Based in Las Vegas, Prendeville raced in the Indy Pro Series for Andersen Racing from the start of the 2007 season until the middle of the 2008 season.[1][2] Until departing to "pursue other opportunities",[2] Prendeville drove car No. 5, with signage dedicated to Best Friends Animal Society.[1] In 2007, in coordination with the no-kill animal sanctuary, Prendeville launched "Racing Laps for Best Friends", a fundraising initiative that included a website for donation and promotional appearances. In July 2007, Prendeville was named an honorary citizen of Indianapolis in response to his fundraising efforts.[3] He was replaced in car No. 5 by Daniel Herrington.[2] He returned to the series for 2009, driving for Team Moore Racing.[4] He finished a career-best 9th in points with a best finish of third at Chicagoland Speedway.

A resident of Chatham Township, New Jersey,[5] Prendeville, who graduated from Chatham High School in 2000,[1] is the younger brother of Doug Prendeville, who is also a professional driver.
