[1] His Pro Modified boat featured parts from an ARCA car, such as the steering column and dry sump system. [7] His boat and firesuit are also adorned with ARCA logos. [8] In 2016, Speer had a slow start to the season as he suffered first-round eliminations in the first two races, but was able to take the points lead with two races remaining. [9] At the final event held at Wild Horse Motorsports Park, Speer overcame a poor qualifying session to win the 2016 Pro Modified Division championship, [10] ending the year with a 198-point advantage over the runner-up. [9] He moved up to the Top Fuel Division in 2017, [11] while also competing in Pro Outlaw races. [12]
