Ben Rhodes began his racing journey at just 7 years old in 2004 in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Initially just racing at local tracks, he quickly branched out and began to compete in karts around the country. Wins and championships in the karting scene led to his next step of Bandoleros and Legend Cars. During his first full time season of Legend Car racing, Ben won 43 races, more than any other legend car racer that year (over 1200 drivers internationally). In 2011, Ben made his NASCAR stock car debut in a Late Model Stock at Hickory Motor Speedway and by 2014 he was competing full time in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East. During this season, Ben won the series’ Championship, Rookie of the Year, Most Pole Positions, and Most Popular Driver. Simultaneously, also making 3 NASCAR Truck series starts at just 17 years old. In 2016, Ben signed with ThorSport Racing to compete full time in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series.
