Mason Mingus (born November 28, 1994) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes part-time in the ARCA Racing Series, driving the No. 33 Toyota Camry for Win-Tron Racing.
Personal life
Mingus was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but grew up in Brentwood, Tennessee.[1] He is a graduate of Franklin Road Academy, where he competed in wrestling, track,[2] and football.[3]
Racing career
Mingus began his racing career in 2002, competing in quarter midget competition,[2] moving up to the MMRA Mini Cup Series in 2005 and the MMRA Baby Grand Series in 2008,[4] winning the series championship.[2] In 2009 he joined the Ken-Ten Pro Late Model Series, finishing eighth in series points; he returned to the series in 2010 and won the circuit's championship.[2]
In 2011 he moved to the Champion Racing Association CRA Super Series,[2] competing in that series in 2011 and 2012; he also made his ARCA Racing Series debut in 2011, driving for Win-Tron Racing at Salem Speedway.[2] He returned with the team for a limited schedule in 2012 in addition to the full CRA Super Series schedule;[3] he shuffled his racing career with football obligations, qualifying for the All-American 400 in October on the same day as a playoff football game.[3]
For the 2013 season Mingus competed full-time in the ARCA Racing Series,[1] finishing second in series points behind champion Frank Kimmel.[5] In October, following the end of the ARCA season, Mingus made his debut in NASCAR competition, driving for Win-Tron Racing in the Camping World Truck Series Fred's 250 at Talladega Superspeedway;[6] he also planned to compete in races later in the season at Phoenix International Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway.[7] He qualified 12th at Talladega in his debut,[8] but finished last in the race after early engine issues. He also competed in races at Phoenix International Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway in November, posting a best finish of 22nd at Phoenix.[9]
In January 2014, it was announced that Mingus would be competing in the Camping World Truck Series full-time in 2014 driving the No. 35 Toyota Camry for Win-Tron Racing, running for Rookie of the Year.[10] Mingus started the season being involved in a big one at Daytona, resulting in a 28th-place finish. Mingus then had a consistent finish in later races, until Win-Tron Racing parted ways with Mingus. Mingus was later offered a ride with Billy Boat Motorsports to drive for the reminder of the 2014 season.
