Max McLaughlin (born February 29, 2000) is an American professional stock car racing and dirt track racing driver. He currently competes full-time in the World of Outlaws Case Construction Late Model Series, driving the No. 22 Longhorn Chassis for Team 22 and part-time in the Super DIRTcar Big-Block Modified Series, driving the No. 8 for Heinke-Baldwin Racing. He has also previously competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Truck Series, ARCA Menards Series, ARCA Menards Series East and NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. He is the son of former NASCAR driver Mike McLaughlin.

Racing career

On February 2, 2018, it was announced that McLaughlin would be driving part-time for Niece Motorsports in the No. 38 truck. [1] [2] [3] He finished 12th in his first start at Eldora, which ended up being his only start with the team.

In 2019, McLaughlin joined Hattori Racing Enterprises for his first full asphalt racing season in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, driving the No. 1 Toyota Camry. [4] McLaughlin won his first career race at Watkins Glen International. [5] In October 2020, McLaughlin won in a Big Block dirt modified Super DIRTcar Series race at Weedsport Speedway. [6]

For 2021, McLaughlin decided to put more focus on his dirt racing efforts and would therefore not run another full season in the East Series. [7] On January 13, McLaughlin revealed that he would run part-time in the Truck Series for Hattori in 2021 in a new part-time second truck for the team. [8] However, he did not end up running any Truck Series races that year.

On February 28, 2023, it was announced that McLaughlin would make his Xfinity Series debut in the race at Watkins Glen in the No. 96 car for the new FRS Racing team. [9] He would qualify the part-time car into the race and finish 34th.

Personal life

He is the son of former NASCAR driver Mike McLaughlin. [6]
