CARTER McMURRAY

Learning from his father, Jamie McMurray, the 2010 Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400 champion, Carter McMurray is building his own racing career and making a name for himself in grassroots racing. In 2027, Carter is planning a full-time schedule in the popular zMax CARS Tour, the premier Late Model series in the Southeast. The move comes on the heels of a 2026 season in which the 15 year old found winning success in local Late Models with MKM Racing. At age 14, Carter ran a full schedule on the 2025 SMART Modified Tour, capturing his first-ever Modified division win at Ace Speedway. In 2024, Carter expanded into U.S. Legend Cars, making his series debut at Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Charlotte Winter Heat, followed by the Summer Shootout. He later won the Young Lions division feature at VIRginia International Raceway at the Legend Car Road Course World Finals. Carter capped off a successful karting career in 2023, where he captured multiple karting victories and championships across Trackhouse Motorplex, Charlotte Motor Speedway, and Daytona International Speedway. Carter previously advanced to the Junior Class (ages 12–16) in 2022, traveling the national karting circuit after winning his first track championship in the Briggs Cadet division in 2021. His racing career began in 2019 when he first took the wheel in karting at Trackhouse Motorplex in Mooresville, North Carolina.
