Racing career

In 2007, Phelps would make his ARCA Re/Max Series debut at the season ending race at Toledo Speedway, driving the No. 12 Chevrolet for DGM Racing, where he would start 26th and finish twentieth. He would attempt to qualify the season opening race at Daytona International Speedway in 2008, driving his self owned No. 13 Chevrolet, where he would ultimately fail to qualify. He would then go on to drive the No. 45 Dodge for Cunningham Motorsports in collaboration with Mark Gibson Racing, where he would remain for the rest of the year bar the season ending race at Toledo, where he would be replaced by Nur Ali.[1] He would place sixteenth in the final points standings with three top-ten finishes with a best result of ninth at Pocono Raceway and Kentucky Speedway.[2][3] Phelps would make one more start in the series in 2009, where he would once again attempt to qualify for Daytona with his own team, this time in the No. 39 Chevrolet in collaboration with Roulo Brothers Racing, where he would qualify in 31st, but finish 22nd due to being involved in a crash midway through the race. He has not competed in the series since then.

Phelps has most recently competed in the DIRTcar Sportsman Starter Series.[4]
