Learning from his father, Jamie McMurray, the 2010 Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400 champion, Carter is building his own racing career and making a name for himself in grassroots racing. The young teenager started karting in 2019 at the local Trackhouse Motorplex in Mooresville, N.C., winning his first track championship in the Briggs Cadet division in 2021. The following year, Carter transitioned up to the Junior Class (12-16 year olds) and started traveling to national races on the karting circuit. 2023 was a breakout year for Carter, winning several karting races and championships at Trackhouse Motorplex, Charlotte Motor Speedway and Daytona International Speedway. For 2024, Carter added U.S. Legend Cars to his racing repertoire, making his debut at the Charlotte Winter Heat at Charlotte Motor Speedway followed be the Summer Shootout series.
