Lawless Alan Bio
Lawless Alan, born February 2, 2000, is an American professional stock car racing driver from Van Nuys, California. He last competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 20 Toyota Camry for Venturini Motorsports, while also running a part-time schedule in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with Tricon Garage behind the wheel of the No. 1 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Alan has previously competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, building a versatile resume across NASCAR’s national touring divisions.
Early Life and Background
Lawless Alan was born and raised in Van Nuys, California, a region with deep ties to Southern California’s grassroots motorsports culture. Growing up around short tracks and local racing programs, he was introduced to the sport at a young age through his family’s own race team. This family-based foundation would shape his early path and give him a hands-on understanding of race cars from the inside out.
Alan began gaining competitive experience in stock car racing events around his home state before transitioning to more structured national series competition. His Southern California roots and family-supported start helped him build the seat time needed to move up the ladder of American stock car racing.
Path to NASCAR
Alan launched his national-level stock car career in 2018, competing in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series for his family team, Dasher Lawless Racing. That local and regional program served as his training ground, where he learned the craft of running consistent, competitive laps week after week.
His progression through the developmental ranks came through steady results and team opportunities. He joined Bill McAnally Racing part-time in 2019, then returned to the team for what was planned as a full season in the 2020 ARCA Menards Series West. Those ARCA starts opened the door to NASCAR’s national touring series, setting the stage for his move into the Craftsman Truck Series in 2021.
Lawless Alan Career
Early Career (2018–2020)
In 2018, Alan competed in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, driving for his family-owned team, Dasher Lawless Racing. That experience gave him a foundation in weekly racing and team operations, helping him sharpen his race craft before stepping into more competitive national events.
Alan joined Bill McAnally Racing part-time in 2019 and returned for what was to be a full season in the 2020 ARCA Menards Series West. After the first four races of that season, he and his No. 12 car stopped attempting races, and he did not run any more NASCAR or ARCA races for another team for the remainder of the year. Despite the abbreviated schedule, the season provided valuable seat time in higher-profile equipment.
ARCA Menards Series Breakthrough (2025)
On January 5, 2025, it was announced that Alan would drive the No. 20 Toyota full-time for Venturini Motorsports in the ARCA Menards Series. The opportunity came after several seasons working through NASCAR’s development ladder, giving him a chance to run a complete national schedule in competitive equipment.
On April 26, Alan earned his first career ARCA victory, winning at Talladega Superspeedway. He went on to compete in 16 races for Venturini before departing the seat, finishing the season with one win, ten top-five finishes, and ten top-ten results. Despite missing the final four races of the year, Alan finished fifth in the final ARCA Menards Series point standings.
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (2021–2025)
Alan made his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut with Reaume Brothers Racing in 2021, driving the No. 34 truck at the Daytona Road Course. He also joined Niece Motorsports for four races that season and ran additional Truck events at Nashville, Pocono, and Watkins Glen with Reaume Brothers Racing, building experience across multiple teams and track types.
In 2022, Alan committed to a full Truck Series schedule with Niece Motorsports in the No. 45, finishing 22nd in the final points standings while recording eight top-twenty finishes. He returned to Niece full-time in 2023 but failed to qualify for the season opener at Daytona and struggled with consistency, though he scored a career-best 10th-place finish at Talladega, his first top-ten run in the series, before again finishing 22nd in points and departing the team.
In 2024, Alan switched to Reaume Brothers Racing, driving the No. 33 Ford. At Talladega, he ran near the front and contended for the win, ultimately posting a 5th-place finish, his first career Truck Series top-five. On October 22, 2024, it was announced that Frankie Muniz would replace Alan in the No. 33 for 2025, and on January 6, 2025, it was announced that Alan would drive part-time for Tricon Garage.
NASCAR Xfinity Series Debut
Alan announced that he would make his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut in the No. 15 AM Racing entry at Michigan International Speedway. He finished 35th after being collected in a multi-car accident, but the start marked his first appearance in NASCAR’s second-highest national touring series.
Driving Style and Strengths
Alan has shown particular strength on superspeedways and large drafting tracks, where his best Truck and ARCA finishes have come at Talladega. His ability to run near the front in pack-style racing, paired with consistency in equipment with Venturini Motorsports and Niece Motorsports, has defined his development path.
Notable Races and Milestones
His first career ARCA victory at Talladega in 2025 and his first Truck Series top-five at the same track in 2024 stand out as signature moments. His full-season Truck campaigns with Niece Motorsports in 2022 and 2023 also marked important milestones in his national-series progression.
