He would run half of the season in 2019,[2] earning two top tens, with his best career finish being 9th at Michigan International Speedway, and finishing 15th in the point standings.[3] 2020 would be his breakout season, earning three top tens, with his best finish of 9th at Kansas Speedway. He would follow with a 10th-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway in 2021. Melton suffered a compound fracture in his left leg in an accident at the 2022 General Tire 200.[4] He would return later that year at Pocono.
