Costner made his ARCA Menards Series West debut in 2021. He attempted to make his debut in the #77 Toyota Camry sponsored by Thin Blue Wine Cellars and Jan's Towing at the Portland International Raceway, but did not start due to engine issues. He ended up making his debut at the All-American Speedway, finishing 14th of a strong 24 car field in the #77 Toyota Camry sponsored by Thin Blue Wine Cellars and Jan's Towing. He then finished the 2021 season up in the #08 Toyota Camry for Kart Idaho with new sponsor Innovative Tiny Houses by finishing 30th after losing his brakes with 40 laps to go at Phoenix.

In 2022, Costner made his ARCA Menards Series East debut for the newly formed Costner Weaver Motorsports at New Smyrna Speedway. He failed to finish the race due to an overheating issue placing him in 13th.
