Contents

Business career

Faison's business career started at the age of seven, sweeping floors at his father Ronald's business, Delaware Auto Exchange. C. J. took over the auction company at age 22 from his father and saw growth due to connecting with a younger demographic. [4] Faison also serves on the board of directors of the National Association of Public Auto Auctions. [5] Other business ventures include a mixed martial arts series, a sunglasses company [6] and a shock manufacturing company. [7]

Racing career

Grassroots series

Faison's racing career began at the age of four in the go-kart ranks; he later moved up to dirt sprint cars around the Delaware area. [7]

K&N Pro Series East

In 2011, Faison attempted four races and made three in this series. [8] In his first attempt, at South Boston Speedway, Faison failed to qualify in Rich Rudolph's No. 02 Chevrolet. [9] For the next race, at Richmond International Raceway, Faison qualified 32nd and finished in that same place in what would be his last race for Rudolph. [10] Faison returned eight races later in a family-owned team. At New Hampshire Motor Speedway, he qualified 35th but finished 34th after engine problems ended his race 45 laps in. [11] In his final appearance of the season, again with his family-owned team, he qualified fourth at Dover International Speedway, a track only 14 miles away from his hometown. [12] Once again, however, mechanical issues ended his day, as a broken shock relegated him to a 24th-place finish. [13] In 2012, Faison logged a career-high nine starts, all for his family-owned team. [14] With backing from Generation Rescue and Little Caesars Pizza, he logged a pole, [15] two top-ten finishes, [16] [17] and two crashes. [18] [19] In 2013, Faison picked up backing from Sherwin-Williams, and recorded one top five finish and one crash in six starts. [20] He led the most laps at Dover International Speedway before blowing a tire in the late portion of the race. [21] After the race, Faison stated that winning at Dover is his "only goal in life". [22]

Camping World Truck Series

In 2013, Faison made his Truck debut at Dover with SS-Green Light Racing, but a crash after 61 laps ended his day. His other start in that season was at Kentucky, in SS-Green Light's No. 81 truck. He finished 19th, one lap off the pace. [23] A deal to drive Premium Motorsports' No. 94 truck in 2015 fell through. [24] In 2016, Faison returned to SS-Green Light Racing, piloting the No. 07 truck at Dover to a 25th-place finish, 10 laps down. [25] The opportunity came after Dotter called Faison earlier in the week to drive, hoping to keep the truck's position in owner points. [26]

Xfinity Series

Faison debuted in the Xfinity Series in 2015, driving JGL Racing's No. 26 Toyota Camry at Dover. [27] He started 37th and finished 23rd. [28]

Other series

In 2023, Faison got the opportunity to make his off-road racing debut, driving a trophy truck in the Mint 400.[ citation needed ]
