Career Highlights
Treyten Lapcevich is one of the few international drivers competing full-time on the CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car circuit, and one of the most credentialed. The Grimsby, Ontario native won the 2021 NASCAR Pinty's Series championship at age 15, becoming the youngest champion in the history of NASCAR's Canadian national touring series.
Lapcevich made the move to the American short track ladder through Chad Bryant Racing, piloting the No. 77 Ford in the CARS Tour LMSC division. His resume already included a South Carolina 400 victory at Florence Motor Speedway, one of the marquee late model events on the East Coast calendar.
In the 2026 CARS Tour season, Lapcevich sits among the top tier of LMSC title contenders alongside Caden Kvapil, Sam Butler, and Conner Jones. His early-season results have kept him in the championship conversation, though a disqualification at North Wilkesboro, later partially amended on appeal, added a layer of complexity to his points position.
The combination of Canadian national championship pedigree, willingness to relocate for American competition, and consistent speed at CARS Tour tracks makes Lapcevich one of the most compelling driver stories in the 2026 season. At 20, he is still among the youngest full-time competitors in the field but carries more hardware than most veterans on the tour.
