Stock car racing

edit

Windom also participates in stock car racing, making seven starts from 2011 to 2015 in the ARCA Menards Series and three starts in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2017 for MB Motorsports and one in 2018 for DGR-Crosley, with a best finish of 14th at Eldora Speedway. In 2021, he joined Rick Ware Racing for his NASCAR Cup Series debut at Bristol Motor Speedway's dirt event, where he finished 33rd after suffering an engine failure.[2][3] He also ran the Corn Belt 150 at Knoxville in place of Michael Annett in the No. 02 for Young's Motorsports.[4]

Indy Lights

edit

On March 27, 2018, it was announced that Windom would make his Indy Lights debut driving for Belardi Auto Racing in the Freedom 100 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with support from Jonathan Byrd's Racing, the same group that supported fellow sprint car driver Bryan Clauson venture into Indy Lights and the IndyCar Series.[5] Windom, however, crashed during the first morning testing session on May 21 and the damage to the car forced Windom to withdraw from the event.[6]
