Morgan M. Alexander (born April 10, 1997) is an American professional dirt track racing and stock car racing driver who competes part-time in Dirt Super Late Models and 604 Crate Dirt Late Models, driving the No. 711 Savage Racecars for Morgan Alexander Racing. He has also previously competed in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series.
Racing career
[edit]Alexander began racing at the age of 13 in dirt late models before transitioning to racing on asphalt in stock cars. Alexander made his ARCA Menards Series East debut in the race at Southern National Motorsports Park. He was initially going to drive the No. 50 for Niece Motorsports, but that car ended up being withdrawn and Alexander moved to the No. 41 for Cook-Finley Racing, which had previously been TBA on the entry list.[1] He finished 12th out of 16 cars after suffering electrical problems. Alexander was also scheduled to make his ARCA Menards Series West debut in the race at Irwindale in Cook-Finley's No. 42 car, but he cancelled that planned start and instead used the funding for that race to compete in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Knoxville with Niece in their No. 44 truck.[2] Alexander did drive the No. 50 for Niece in two races in back-to-back weeks in July: the main ARCA Menards Series race at Berlin and the main ARCA/East Series combination race at Iowa. Alexander crashed in his truck debut at Knoxville with Jessica Friesen.
Personal life
[edit]He is not related to former NASCAR drivers Blaise Alexander and Mike Alexander or NASCAR on Fox Xfinity Series play-by-play announcer Adam Alexander.
