Racing career

edit

ARCA Menards Series

edit

Wilson would get his start in the series in 2017 with Fast Track Racing for a test session, after a deal with another team failed to materialize.[2]

Wilson would get his debut in 2018 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, retiring and finishing 25th due to ignition problems. Since then, he has made at least one start in every season since then, with him greatly expanding his schedule in 2021, racing 14 of the 20 races that year. Wilson would get his first top 10 at the 2021 Allen Crowe 100, finishing 10th.

Political career

edit

Wilson would try and run as a Republican for McLennan County Commissioner, second precinct in 2018. Wilson would try and push for a better mental health system and drug system to stop drugs, along with a campaign for better roads in the local area.[3] In the Republican primary, he would win, receiving 1,116 votes, or 64.36% of the votes cast.[4] He would face off against Democrat Patricia Chisolm-Miller. Wilson would lose the election, only earning 4,573 votes, or 43% of the ballots compared to Chisolm-Miller's 6,016 votes, or 57% of the ballots. Wilson would blame Democrat straight-ticket voting for the reason of his loss.[5]
