From 2001 to 2005, Murt ran in 23 races in the ARCA Re/Max Series, getting three top-tens with a best result of sixth at Kentucky Speedway in 2004, with his most recent start in the series coming in 2005 at Talladega Superspeedway. [1] He also made one NASCAR Busch Series start that year at Daytona International Speedway, where he finished 38th due to a multi-car crash midway through the race.

After the NASCAR and ARCA career ended, Murt has since competed in the NHRA, having mainly driven and owned his own team in the Top Fuel category. [2] [3]
