Brayton Laster

Laster would start racing go-karts at the age of eight at the Indianapolis Speedrome. Four years later, he would move on to racing Ford Thunderbirds and other various types of stock cars.[2][3] According to Laster's dad, Dane, he would describe Brayton's equipment as a Frankenstein-esque vehicle, saying that "There’s times where I look back and I feel bad about some of the stuff I put him in over the years. But he’s had to drive his heart out, he’s had to learn to work on it to get speed out of it."[2]

For most of his career, Laster has driven the No. 13 along with green paint, both racing superstitions that are rumored to give bad luck. Laster said that he wanted both qualities as a satire to both superstitions.[4]

Laster made his ARCA Menards Series debut in 2022 in the Lucas Oil 200 at the Daytona International Speedway.[5] Laster had a strong run, finishing 13th.[6]

In 2023, Laster made his ARCA Menards Series East debut in the Music City 200 at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway driving for Fast Track Racing.[7] A fuel pressure issue would sideline him and he would ultimately finish 14th. Later in the year, he would also makes starts in the ARCA/ARCA East combination races at Iowa Speedway and Indianapolis Raceway Park.[8]
