Racing career

Minor started his racing career in 2001 on Texas dirt tracks and has progressed to racing on asphalt tracks in the ARCA, USST series, and super late models.[1]

Minor's first stock car start came in the ARCA Racing Series in 2010 driving the No. 89 for Lafferty Motorsports at Salem, but he crashed after 70 laps and finished 25th. It is to date his only ARCA attempt.

Minor has made seven starts in the NASCAR's Truck Series. He attempted to make his debut at the spring Martinsville race in 2014 for Cefalia Motorsports but the team withdrew after the first practice.

Minor returned in the following race at New Hampshire now start and parking the No. 57 Chevrolet Silverado for Norm Benning Racing and finished 30th. He was going to attempt the Iowa race in 2015 for Cefalia but the team withdrew. After almost 2 year-hiatus Minor returned in 2017 driving for newly formed team: Long Motorsports.[3] He drove for them at Iowa and Chicagoland. Ted returned at Texas driving the No. 44 for Faith Motorsports with sponsorship from SMD (Shawn Magee Design and the truck also feature a special tribute graphic on the deck lid honoring all 58 people who lost their lives in the tragic shootings at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas on October 1).[4] and he tied his best finish of 25th-place. Minor returned in the following race at Phoenix with the same sponsorship but now driving the No. 63 truck for MB Motorsports and finished 31st.
