Career

A native of Missouri,[1] Lane began his career in racing at age 4, racing in go-karts; he moved up to late model racing at the age of 14.[1] Racing in central Tennessee in his mid-teens,[2] his family moved to Florida due to family issues, where he became a regular competitor at Citrus County Speedway and Showtime Speedway, as well as a student at Fivay High School in Hudson, Florida.[1] Lane competed in the Florida All Stars Tour in 2010, finishing tenth in series points;[3] he received the series' Rookie of the Year award.[4]

Lane made his debut in major-league stock car racing in ARCA Racing Series competition on March 9, 2013, competing in the ARCA Mobile 200 at Mobile International Speedway.[5] Driving for a team owned by his family,[6] he started 18th in the event, finishing 25th after an accident in which he launched his car outside the track in turn 3, landing in a grove of trees;[7] during practice for the event, he had skidded outside the track in Turn 4.[8] Lane finished 27th in his second race of the year at Toledo Speedway; he then posted his best finish of the year, fourteenth, at Winchester Speedway in June.[9] Running in the ARCA Series proved too costly for the team however, and Lane sat out the 2014 racing season.[4]
