A leading figure in the NASCAR Crafstman Truck Series where he has claimed championship victory in 2021 and 2023, Ben is highly respected for his racecraft and dedication to the sport.
Driving the No.99 Ford for ThorSport Racing, Rhodes is an exciting driver to have on-board as an ambassador. Rhodes won the 2014 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East Championship with Turner Scott Motorsports. His career began in 2004 when he was seven year old, starting in Kart racing, winning several champion titles before moving to Bandoleros in 2008. In 2010, Ben moved to Legends cars, before moving up to late model stock cars beginning in 2011.
In mid-March 2014, it was announced Rhodes would make his Camping World Truck Series debut at Martinsville in the Kroger 250 for TSM, and drive in three additional Truck Series races that season. In December 2014, Rhodes moved up to NASCAR’s second-tier national series – the Xfinity Series. By December 2015, Rhodes announced his full-time participation in the Truck Series in 2016 and has been competing in the series ever since.
The 2021 season marked his best campaign to date as he clinched two race victories and eight podium finishes on his way to winning the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship. 2022 saw Ben narrowly miss out on the championship by a mere 5 points!
For 2023, Ben is once again battling in the leading pack for Championship glory and in spectacular fashion he added to his 2021 title with another championship victory at Phoenix Raceway in Arizona! A season which saw him collect one win and four podiums in the process.
