Poole drove Dirt Modifieds in the IMCA ranks from 2007 to 2008 for his family's team at their hometrack of Houston Raceway Park, he scored 7 wins in 2008 and the Texas World Dirt Championship. [5]

He also ran some select Dirt Late Model races on the side, in addition to his IMCA schedule.

UARA-Stars Late Models

From 2009 to 2010 Poole raced Late Model Stock Cars in the UARA-Stars ranks driving the No. 5 for Jamie Yelton where he would score the Rookie of the Year title in 2009 and the Most Popular Driver Award both years as well. In 2010 he picked up his first win in at Tri-County and would go on to score 5 more coming at Hickory, Lonesome Pine, Kingsport, Dillon, and Greenville-Pickens and finish runner up in the points.

In 2011, Poole formed his own race team driving the No. 7 and went onto score four wins at Hickory, Kingsport, Rockingham, and Lonesome Pine. He clinched the championship at Rockingham after locking the championship up a week before at Concord. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

ARCA Racing Series

2011

Poole made his debut in the ARCA Racing Series at Salem Speedway in 2011, driving the No. 55 Chevrolet for Venturini Motorsports, in which Poole would lead 31 laps and win in his debut. [6] Poole ran three more races that year in Venturini's 25 car, scoring a pole and a top five finish at Pocono Raceway.

2012

Poole ran the full 2012 schedule for Venturini in the 25 car, earning 15 top tens, three poles, and back-to-back wins at Elko Speedway and Pocono Raceway while going on to finish 3rd in points. [11] [12]

2013

Poole ran part-time schedules over the next two years for Venturini. [13] At the Illinois State Fairgrounds Racetrack, Poole crossed the finish line in third but was awarded the win after it was determined that the two drivers who finished ahead of him, Kelly Kovski and A. J. Fike, jumped the final restart. [14]

2014

In 2014, Poole returned at Pocono Raceway in which he led 31 of 50 laps. He returned again for the next six races as a substitute for John Wes Townley; Poole scored four top fives and a victory at Kentucky Speedway in his final ARCA start in the No. 15. [12] [15] Poole was later penalized 25 driver points after his Kentucky car was found to be in violation of the minimum roof height rule. [16]

2015

Poole signed a contract with Team BCR Racing to run 10 races in the 2015 season to drive the No. 45 Ford Fusion for the team, replacing Grant Enfinger but would withdraw from the season opener at Daytona and never make a start after that. [17]

2018

Poole returned to Venturini as a relief driver at Pocono Raceway in 2018, relieving Natalie Decker, who was recovering from surgery. He nearly won the race which would’ve made Decker the first female winner in ARCA Racing Series history as she started the race but he ultimately struggled to gain his speed back after a late race caution as he was passing Harrison Burton for the lead. [18]

Xfinity Series

2015

In 2015, Poole was signed to drive in the Xfinity Series for HScott Motorsports with Chip Ganassi, with the operation being run out of Ganassi's NASCAR shop. Poole shared the No. 42 ride with Ganassi Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Larson and Justin Marks. In between starts he also traveled to Sprint Cup races as an observer with Ganassi's other Cup driver, Jamie McMurray. [1] [19] On May 17, Poole was parked by NASCAR during the race at Iowa Speedway after intentionally turning J. J. Yeley into the outside wall in response to Yeley turning Poole into the wall earlier. [20] In total he scored two top tens and ten top-fifteen finishes during the season. [21] [22]

2016

For 2016, Poole moved into a new No. 48 car for Ganassi full-time with sponsorship from DC Solar for the full season. [21] [22] At Talladega, Poole finished third after crossing the finish line first after a last-lap caution. NASCAR reviewed the finish and later awarded Elliott Sadler the win by virtue of being in first when the caution flag was displayed. [23] Poole finished eighth in points, scoring 17 top tens and four top fives.

2017

He returned to CGR's No. 48 for 2017. He won his first career series pole at Daytona International Speedway in July. [24] Poole advanced to the Round of 8 in the Xfinity Series playoffs, but fell out of the elimination race early after contact with Caesar Bacarella. [25] Poole finished sixth at Homestead, finishing sixth in points.

On June 18, 2018, it was announced that Poole would sue Chip Ganassi Racing, and agency Spire Sports + Entertainment for breach of contract, alleging that CGR and Spire conspired to take away DC Solar's sponsorship from Poole and move it to the No. 42 CGR Cup Series team and that Spire's involvement representing both driver and team constituted a conflict of interest. [26] [27] Ganassi and Spire both released statements through attorneys denying the claims, with CGR's statement saying the sponsorship of Poole ended "because he never won a race despite the advantages of the best equipment in the garage." [28] [29] Poole, CGR, and Spire would later settle their dispute out-of-court at the end of 2018 following DC Solar's FBI raid, although terms were not released.

2018

Poole tested for GMS Racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May of 2018 and was expected to run all the races that the suspended Spencer Gallagher would miss however he would ultimately not make a single start for the team. [30]

2022

After 5 seasons of not competing in the series he would return to run the entire West Coast Swing in the No. 47 Chevrolet Camaro for Mike Harmon Racing. Poole attempted his first race with MHR in the Production Alliance Group 300at Auto Club, but Poole missed the field. He would successfully make the field the following week at Las Vegas. However only three laps into the event, the engine gave out, leaving him 37th. Poole would then fail to qualify for the next three races, before finally making the field once again at Richmond Raceway, however rear gear issues knocked Poole out of the event after 112 laps. He would then qualify for the second time in a row at Martinsville, but couldn’t even turn a lap thanks to the clutch failing on him and then start and parked at Kansas. He would only make four more races with the team until moving to Jimmy Means Racing for Bristol, but failed to qualify.

Poole would then sign a three race deal with JD Motorsports in the No. 6 Chevrolet at Texas, Homestead and Phoenix. He would finish 31st in his first start with the team at Texas due to a multiple car pileup midway through the race. At Homestead, he would finish 14th, his best finish since 2017 at the same track. At Phoenix, he would sport the Out of the Groove Camaro, which featured host Eric Estepp's face on the hood. Estepp would later publish a race vlog on his channel about the whole opportunity.

2023

On December 12, 2022, it was announced Poole would run full-time for JD Motorsports in the No. 6, his first full-time stint in NASCAR since 2020 and his first in the NASCAR Xfinity Series since 2017. On February 9, 2023, Macc Door Systems announced they would sponsor Poole in 6 races starting at the season opener at Daytona and also both races at Las Vegas, Talladega, Nashville, and Bristol.

He would start the season off by finishing 33rd with a DNF at Daytona after running top 15 much of the night. At Las Vegas, he would do much of the same and finish 25th, this time finishing the race.

He would collect his best finish of the season at Talladega after narrowly surviving several disastrous crashes, he would finish 5th marking his first top 5 and top 10 on the season as well as his first for both categories since the 2017 season. He failed to qualify for the race at Sonoma and was replaced by Garrett Smithley in the Wawa 250 at Daytona due to his sponsor putting their focus on the Cup side in the No. 15 with Rick Ware Racing with Brennan at the wheel. He would later click off a string of several top 20 and top 15 finishes mainly in the road course races towards the end of the year; finishing 20th at Nashville, 15th at Road America, 12th at Watkins Glen, 20th at Darlington, 17th at the Charlotte Roval, and 19th at Homestead-Miami. Poole would end his 2023 Xfinity Series campaign 24th in points.

Finance Pro Plus who sponsored Poole in Cup in 2023 would return as a sponsor for 20 races and Macc Door Systems who served as his primary sponsor in the Xfinity Series in 2023 would return to sponsor Poole in 10 races. [31] On October 31, 2024, it was announced that Poole will return to APR for the 2025 season.

Craftsman Truck Series

2015

In 2015, Poole made his Truck Series debut at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, driving the No. 21 Chevrolet for GMS Racing, where he qualified 15th and finished 11th. [32]

2018

On October 31, 2018, it was announced Poole would return to the series for a one-off race with NextGen Motorsports in the No. 35 Toyota Tundra. His fifteenth-place finish was encumbered due to the team violating rule 20.3.4 in the NASCAR rule book. [33]

On November 2, 2018, Poole announced he would return with NextGen Motorsports in the No. 35 at Homestead-Miami Speedway for the Truck Series season finale. He finished 19th after dealing with a stuck accelerator during the race. [34]

2019

On January 28, 2019, Poole announced a full-time schedule with On Point Motorsports for the 2019 NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series, driving the No. 30. [35] Poole finished in the top ten for the first time after avoiding late attrition at Texas Motor Speedway early in the season. [36] The team later scaled back its effort due to sponsorship concerns. [37]

After having to miss Kansas due to a lack of sponsorship Poole and On Point returned at Charlotte, they would top the board going fastest in final practice and qualify 17th, and using a chassis from 2007, dealing with a broken sway bar after it broke at the beginning of the race, and missing half of his shocks, Poole finished second to Kyle Busch. [37]

On July 11 at Kentucky Speedway, Ben Rhodes made contact with Poole while Rhodes was running second in turns 3 and 4. Both drivers acquired enough damage to make additional pit stops. After the race, Rhodes attempted to charge Poole, irate that in his eyes a slower truck cost Rhodes a shot at a NASCAR playoffs berth, which would have come with a win. [38] [39]

2020

[40] He ran the first 11 races of the season, recording a best finish of 12th in both Kansas Speedway doubleheader races in July. [41]

2021

In June 2021, Poole made his return to NASCAR and On Point Motorsports for the Truck race at Texas Motor Speedway. [43]

2022

On February 28, 2022, it was announced Poole would drive part-time in the No. 46 for G2G Racing starting at Las Vegas however, would be replaced by Matt Jaskol, G2G Racing's full-time driver after Poole qualified in on speed and Jaskol failed to do so.

2023

Poole would return to G2G in 2023 in the No. 46 making his season debut at Las Vegas finishing 33rd after suffering issues with the gearing. He would return later in the season at Kansas to pick up a very solid 20th place finish after running as far up as 7th under caution and even in the top 15 under green at certain points in the race, a milestone achievement for the G2G team up to that point, the finish to date would also be G2G's best finish ever outside of superspeedway races. He would return the next week at Darlington.

In the 2020 YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on October 4, Poole earned his career best Cup Series finish. He crossed the line in 11th, but finished 9th due to penalties issued against Matt DiBenedetto and Chris Buescher.

2023

Other ventures
