Racing career

Golden has previously competed in series such as the Sooner Limited Modified Series, as well as the United States Racing Association in both the limited modified and tuner divisions.[1]

In 2023, Golden was entered in the ARCA Menards Series race at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds dirt track in the No. 03 Ford, but only practiced and qualified the car for team owner Alex Clubb;[2] Golden placed seventeenth in both practice and qualifying while Clubb finished the race in ninth place.[3] [4] [5]

In 2024, it was revealed that Golden would officially make his debut in ARCA for Clubb, this time driving the No. 86 Ford at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.[6] [7] He finished in 25th after failing to take the start due to mechanical issues.[8] He then finished in nineteenth at the next race at Berlin Raceway, and 25th at Salem Speedway, retiring from both due to mechanical issues.[9] [10]
