Casey Carden (born February 11, 1989) is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner who competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 31 Chevrolet SS for Rise Motorsports.

Racing career

Carden first began racing in go-karts, where he would win multiple championships before progressing to formula cars in the Sports Car Club of America.[1] In 2014, he would compete in several events for series like the Lamborghini Super Trofeo and the Michelin Pilot Challenge.[2] He would also go on to race in the American Endurance Racing Series with his own team, Casey Carden Motorsports, where they would win in their class seven times in 2017, eight times in 2018, and two times in 2019.[3]

In 2022, Carden would make his debut in the ARCA Menards Series at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, driving the No. 3 Ford for Clubb Racing Inc., where he would finish 23rd after running one lap due to brake issues. He would make another start for the team at Watkins Glen International, this time in the No. 03, where he would finish on the lead lap in fifteenth. It was also during this year that he would run at the season ending race at Road Atlanta for Stoner Car Care Racing in the Michelin Pilot Challenge, driving the No. 09 Aston Martin alongside Ramin Abdolvahabi.[2][4]

On December 2, 2022, it was announced that Carden would run up to five races for Clubb Racing Inc. in 2023, alongside plans for him to run full-time in 2024.[5][6] He would make his oval track debut at Elko Speedway, where he would start fourteenth and finish seventeenth due to a valve spring issue.[7][8] He returned for the following race at Mid-Ohio, where he would finish eighteenth due to an accident. He was scheduled to make his ARCA Menards Series East debut at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, which also served as a companion event with the main ARCA series.[9] He would end up withdrawing from the race due to an engine failure in practice, and would be classified in 25th place. On August 15, it was announced that Carden would attempt to qualify for his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut for CHK Racing at Watkins Glen International.[10]

Personal life

Carden graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in consumer economics.[2]
