Racing career

On February 2, 2018, it was announced that McLaughlin would be driving part-time for Niece Motorsports in the No. 38 truck. [1] [2] [3] He finished 12th in his first start at Eldora, which ended up being his only start with the team.

[4] McLaughlin won his first career race at Watkins Glen International. [5] In October 2020, McLaughlin won in a Big Block dirt modified Super DIRTcar Series race at Weedsport Speedway. [6]

For 2021, McLaughlin decided to put more focus on his dirt racing efforts and would therefore not run another full season in the East Series. [7] On January 13, McLaughlin revealed that he would run part-time in the Truck Series for Hattori in 2021 in a new part-time second truck for the team. [8] However, he did not end up running any Truck Series races that year.

On February 28, 2023, it was announced that McLaughlin would make his Xfinity Series debut in the race at Watkins Glen in the No. 96 car for the new FRS Racing team. [9] He would qualify the part-time car into the race and finish 34th.

In 2024 McLaughlin would run full-time in the World of Outlaws Late Model Series in the No. 22 for G.R. Smith. He would pick up his 1st win in just his 5th start in April at the Talladega Short Track.
