In 2020, he would race in a one-off event for Kart Idaho Racing at the 2020 Star Nursery 150, retiring and finishing 15th due to brake issues.[1]
In 2021, he was scheduled to once again for the team in the 2021 NAPA Auto Care 150,[2] but was replaced by Andrew Tuttle.
In 2022, Lowden would announce that he would race full-time in the ARCA Menards Series West, driving for his own team with assistance from Kart Idaho Racing.[3]
In 2007, Lowden would open up Stoney's Rockin' Country, after a restaurant Lowden and his friends went to at New Frontier Hotel and Casino shut down due to the closing of the casino.[4] In 2012, the venue would move to Town Square. In 2016, Chris was sued by investors for fraud and racketeering.[5]
In 2018, the nightclub was nominated for Nightclub of the Year by the Academy of Country Music.[6] In May of the same year, the nightclub would open a satellite office in Nashville, Tennessee.[7]
Lowden's father, Paul Lowden, is a casino magnate, and his mother, Sue Lowden, was a former state senator.[8]
