Racing career

McLaughlin tested an ARCA Racing Series car for Hamilton Hughes Racing in early 2016.[1]

In June 2019, McLaughlin finished 23rd in his first NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series race in the M&M's 200 at Iowa Speedway, driving the No. 33 for Reaume Brothers Racing.[2] The following month, he made his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut in the ROXOR 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for RSS Racing.[3] McLaughlin remained with RSS for the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series season, running a 20-race schedule with the team.[4]

On April 21, 2021, McLaughlin appeared on a podcast and announced that he would return to Reaume Brothers Racing to compete in five Truck Series races for the team, beginning at Kansas in the No. 34. His schedule will also include the race at Charlotte. He also revealed that he would be competing in the Xfinity Series for five races, one of them being New Hampshire, but he did not announce which team he would be driving for.[5]

Personal life

McLaughlin graduated from Wentworth Institute of Technology with a degree in mechanical engineering.[6]

He is not related to former NASCAR driver Mike McLaughlin and his son Max, who competes for Hattori Racing Enterprises in the Truck and ARCA Series.
