.

Racing career

Early years

Racing at

NASCAR Whelen All-American Series in 2013.[2]

ARCA Racing Series

Lee, at the beginning of the

Lucas Oil 200.[3] The original schedule called for Lee to run nine races.[4] He ran ten, winning the pole at Chicagoland Speedway[5] but otherwise struggling to finish in the top ten early in the season.[6] He picked up his performance later in the season, which translated to a full-time ARCA ride with Cunningham Motorsports for 2017.[7] With a constant teammate in Dalton Sargeant, Lee led laps in four races and scored a top five in his first road course race[8] on his way to a third-place points finish behind champion Austin Theriault and teammate Sargeant.[9]

NASCAR

Lee's debut truck at Martinsville Speedway in 2016.

On March 23, 2016, it was announced that Lee would make his

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut for SS-Green Light Racing at Martinsville Speedway in April of that year.[10] He finished seventeenth in his debut and ran another race for SS-Green Light at Gateway Motorsports Park before signing with GMS Racing to drive their No. 24 truck at Texas Motor Speedway late in the season.[2] He finished sixteenth and on the lead lap in that race, marking his third consecutive lead-lap finish.[11]

After focusing on the

ARCA Racing Series in 2017, it was announced on January 24, 2018 that Lee would drive part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for Richard Childress Racing, splitting the organization's No. 3 car with Austin and Ty Dillon, Jeb Burton, and Brendan Gaughan.[12][13] Issues plagued his early runs, with a blown tire ruining a potential Top 5 in his debut at Bristol Motor Speedway and a shortage of gas hindering his effort at Talladega Superspeedway.[14]
At Pocono, Lee had a solid run finishing 12th, and then finishing 16th at Iowa. At Daytona in July, Lee had a great run. He was in the Top 10 for the majority of the race, finishing a career-best sixth-place finish. Then at the second Iowa race, he finished 13th.

In May 2019, Lee joined the newly-formed H2 Motorsports to run the remaining Xfinity schedule (with the exception of the road courses) in the No. 28 Circuit City-sponsored Toyota starting with the CircuitCity.com 250 at Iowa in June.[15][16][17] Although he had signed a deal with H2 for the entirety of the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series season,[18] he was released by the team for "performance-based" reasons before the Sport Clips VFW 200 at Darlington in August.[19]

In 2022, he returned to the Xfinity series driving for

Emerling-Gase Motorsports
. At Daytona, he finished 33rd. Atlanta, he finished 17th. At Martinsville, he finished 27th. He scored a 14th place finish at Talladega.

Personal life

Lee attended Gaston Community College.[1]
