Racing career

edit

Hall drove in three races for Marsh Racing in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2018. Driving their No. 31 Chevrolet, he earned a top-10 finish in his series debut at Langley. He then competed in the doubleheader races at South Boston,[1] but unluckily crashed out in both. He finished 11th in the first race and 13th in the second one.

Hall made his debut in the ARCA Menards Series in 2019 at their season-opener at Daytona driving Chad Bryant Racing's No. 22 car.[2] It was his only scheduled start of the year, as the primary driver of that car for the season, Corey Heim, was only 16 years old and ineligible to race at the track. It was also announced at that time that he would be returning to Marsh's No. 31 in the East Series for the New Smyrna season-opener in that series.[3] Hall did end up running one more race later in the season, which came at Michigan when Bryant's team fielded a third car, the No. 7, for him. Hall crashed out in that race and finished 16th.

For the 2020 ARCA season, Hall returned to CBR and drove the No. 22 for the second year in a row at Daytona.[4] He had driven for the team along with teammates Jacob Heafner (in the No. 77) and Tom Hessert (in the No. 2) at the series' preseason testing at Daytona the prior month.[5] With CBR's plans and driver lineup not set prior to the start of the season (their full-time driver Joe Graf Jr. moved to the Xfinity Series with SS-Green Light Racing and Heim left for Venturini Motorsports),[6] Hall was entered in the Lucas Oil 200 Driven by General Tire at Daytona International Speedway, however, he would not race for the team in any other races that season.[7]

In 2022, Hall competed in the CARS Tour in a reunion with CBR. He finished second in the standings but won a race at Jacksonville Speedway.[8]

He intended to run the series full-time again in 2023 in the No. 77 CBR entry,[9] but due to his success in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series, he ran only a partial schedule.[10] He ultimately was named the national champion of the NASCAR series.[11]

In 2024, Hall returned full-time to the CARS Tour with No. 22 Nelson Motorsports entry. He replaced Landon Huffman, who ran part-time for the team in 2023.[12] Hall won his first tour race with Nelson Motorsports at Langley Speedway by .007 seconds in a three-wide photo finish.[13] Hall also had success in other late model races in 2024, winning the first leg of the Virginia Triple Crown at the Tunder Road 200 held at South Boston Speedway[14][15] and finishing second at the Hampton Heat Race at Langley Speedway.[16] He had previously won the Hampton Heat Race in 2019.[17]

On July 31, 2024, it was announced that Hall would make his debut in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in the race at his home track of Richmond Raceway driving the No. 91 truck for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing.[18]
