Racing career

edit

In 2011, Cushman would make his ARCA Racing Series debut at Pocono Raceway, driving the No. 7 Chevrolet for Bob Schacht Motorsports, where he would start eighteenth but finish 31st due to a crash. He would return to Pocono that year with Schacht, this time in the No. 57 Chevrolet in collaboration with Bill McCreery, where he would start nineteenth and finished fourteenth. In the following year, he would make select starts with his own team, with his first start coming at Daytona International Speedway in the No. 13 Dodge.[1] Across those six starts, he would get a best finish of sixteenth at the season ending race at Kansas Speedway in the No. 7 Chevrolet. In 2013, he would make a number of starts for his own team, alongside a start for Roulo Brothers Racing in the No. 17 Ford at New Jersey Motorsports Park, and Hixson Motorsports in the No. 3 Chevrolet at Berlin Raceway.

After not making a start in the series in 2014, Cushman would return at Talladega Superspeedway in 2015, driving his self owned No. 7 Chevrolet, where he would finish in 23rd. He would return to Talladega the following year in the No. 13, where he would start 35th and finish in 27th due to being involved in a crash with seven laps to go.[2] He would then make one more start at Pocono, where he would start 25th and finish five laps down in 24th. He has not competed in an ARCA race since then.

Cushman has recently competed in the Thunder on the Thruway Pro Stock Series.[3]
