Racing career

[edit]

National Auto Sport Association

[edit]

At the age of 18, he would first race in the National Auto Sport Association, driving a Ford Mustang. He would win the American Iron division in 2019.

ARCA Menards Series

[edit]

With help of Toyota Racing Development employee Jack Irving, Lane was able to buy a car from Venturini Motorsports to race in a future ARCA Menards Series race. While looking for a location to store the car, Empire Racing would offer Lane a mechanic job for the team. He would first make his debut at the 2020 General Tire #AnywhereIsPossible 200, retiring in 17th due to a busted oil line.[1] He would then suffer a crash at the 2020 Dutch Boy 150, finishing last in 18th.[2] He would then get a new car for the 2020 General Tire 100,[3] finishing 16th.

Lane would race two races in 2021 for Kimmel Racing, finishing 11th and 21st in the first and second races he raced, respectively.
