Wyatt has already shown promise, having won a Golden Driller in the Tulsa shootout in 2023. He recently moved to dirt racing, and on 23 March, he earned his first victory in late model racing at the Hickory Motor Speedway.

The track is deeply connected with his family's racing heritage and his recent win is a continuation of the family tradition. His grandfather, Dale Earnhardt, uncle, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and great-grandfather, Ralph Earnhardt have all won races at this track.

Wyatt started in pole position for the 40-lap race and remained dominant early on. He conceded the lead in the middle of the race, only to get it back for the final eight laps as he raced to the win despite being bumped on the final lap. About the race, he said (via NASCAR's official website):

"We had a really good car. I was catching Zach, and then he blew up. I think Aiden tried to rattle my cage, but it didn’t work.”

The track has given many NASCAR racers a start. Kelley will be hoping this is just the beginning for the emerging racer, who is carving his way into the motorsports world.
