In 2018, McCarty would run his first full-time season in the series, signing with Nelson Motorsports. He would manage to earn his first victory at the first race of the season at Tri-County Motor Speedway. [1] By the seventh race of the 12 race season, he would manage to score three more wins. [2] By season's end, he had managed to lock up the championship, scoring his first championship in the series. [3]

In 2019, he would run full-time again for Nelson Motorsports. Despite having a self-called "up-and-down" season according to McCarty, by the final race at South Boston Speedway, he had managed to pull a nine-point lead over Josh Berry. [4] At race's end, he had managed to win his second straight championship in the series. [5]

During the 2021 CARS Late Model Stock Tour season, McCarty would manage to hold off Kaden Honeycutt in the final race at South Boston Speedway to take his third Late Model Stock division title. [6] [7]
