Christopher Tate (born September 8, 1999) is an American professional stock car racing driver who competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series East, driving the No. 10 Chevrolet for Fast Track Racing. He is also a development driver for 3F Racing.[1]

Racing career

On August 4, 2022, it was announced that Tate would join the newly formed 3F Racing as a development driver. Alongside this, he was scheduled to drive select races with the team in the ARCA Menards Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for the following year.[2] His first start with the team came at the All-Pro Limited Late Model Series race at Florence Motor Speedway, where he finished in sixteenth place.[3]

In 2023, Tate participated in the pre-season test for the ARCA Menards Series at Daytona International Speedway, driving for Fast Track Racing, where he placed twelfth in the overall results between the two days after placing eighth in the Friday session.[4] [5] [6] [7] Although he was announced to drive in the ARCA and Truck Series for 3F Racing, and already acquired a sponsor for his races, he ultimately did not run in either series that year.[8]

On May 6, 2024, it was announced that Tate would make his ARCA debut at Charlotte Motor Speedway, driving the No. 01 Chevrolet for Fast Track Racing, although one day after the announcement, it was revealed that he would not be running with the team at Charlotte, although Tate stated he was still looking to make his debut with the team.[9] A couple of weeks later, it was announced that Tate will officially make his debut with Fast Track at Iowa Speedway, this time driving the No. 10 Chevrolet.[10]

Personal life

Tate is currently enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.[11]
