Keith McGee

McGee stated in an interview for the Racing-Reference website that he was hoping to run full-time in the ARCA Series and also make his Truck Series debut in 2020.

He drove an ARCA Menards Series car for the first time at the series' Daytona testing in January 2020, driving for Our Motorsports in the No. 02 car (along with Andy Seuss, Sebastian Arias, and Ronnie Osmer). It is unclear if McGee will run any races for the team as well. The team will be attempting the Daytona ARCA race in February.

For 2019, McGee had been announced to run at the Tucson doubleheader race in one of the Jefferson Pitts Racing cars, but this did not end up happening. His first start of the year came at Douglas County Speedway in Oregon in June of that year. He drove the No. 37 and finished 11th. He later got his first top-10 in his next race at Meridian Speedway in Idaho. It was just his third start in the West Series.

He competed in 115 local go-karting events in 2017, racking up 78 wins. He competed in the Extreme Racing League, a go-kart series in its first year, where he won every race on the way to the championship. In 2018, McGee competed in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, finishing second in points and driving at his home track, Alaska Raceway Park. He also won the championship in the Pro Grand National Series. McGee made his debut in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West at the season-finale at Kern County Raceway Park in the No. 39 for Patriot Motorsports Group, but finished last, not finishing the race due to clutch issues.

McGee grew up in Nevada County, California, and is the youngest of seven children in his family. He moved from California to Alaska in 2005 when he was serving in the military. However, after his service ended, he did not move back to California and remained in Alaska living there permanently. He got a job as a RADAR specialist for the U.S. Department of Defense.

McGee was interested in racing as a child, but he either could become a professional snowboarder or go to the military, and he chose the latter. After moving from California to Alaska and serving for eight years in the United States Air Force beginning in 2001, he started racing when a go-kart facility opened near his town of Eagle River, Alaska. At the time, he was age 35.

His grandfather worked on and built racecars for drivers on the west coast of the U.S. McGee and his father, also involved in racing as a driver for Factory Polaris, would also watch NASCAR races on TV and attend local Sprint car races in person. McGee's mother competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary and won a gold medal after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis earlier in her life and being told she would not be able to walk again. His mother is also a cancer survivor, which is why McGee often runs with Breast Cancer Awareness ribbons on his West Series cars and has run some races with his car number being the color pink.

Keith McGee (born May 7, 1981) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He most recently competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series West, driving the No. 37 Ford/Chevrolet for Kart Idaho Racing. He also previously served in the United States Air Force for eight years. He is notable for being the first-ever driver from Alaska to race in any series in NASCAR.
