Early racing career
Laster would start racing go-karts at the age of eight at the Indianapolis Speedrome. Four years later, he would move on to racing Ford Thunderbirds and other various types of stock cars.[2][3] According to Laster's dad, Dane, he would describe Brayton's equipment as a Frankenstein-esque vehicle, saying that "There’s times where I look back and I feel bad about some of the stuff I put him in over the years. But he’s had to drive his heart out, he’s had to learn to work on it to get speed out of it."[2]
For most of his career, Laster has driven the No. 13 along with green paint, both racing superstitions that are rumored to give bad luck. Laster said that he wanted both qualities as a satire to both superstitions.[4]

Laster would join Fast Track Racing for the race at Charlotte, finishing 19th.[7] Later in the year, he drove the No. 31 car for Rise Motorsports in three races, finishing top ten in all three.[8]

ARCA Menards Series East
In 2023, Laster made his ARCA Menards Series East debut in the Music City 200 at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway driving for Fast Track Racing.[7] A fuel pressure issue would sideline him and he would ultimately finish 14th.

On April 28, it was announced that Laster will make his truck debut in the Corn Belt 150 at Knoxville with Reaume Brothers Racing.[11]
Personal life
Laster is nicknamed "The Pizza Man" for his love of pizza. According to Laster, he was self-proclaimed obsessed with pizza, which started with the Indianapolis Speedrome selling pizza for concessions. It then "became my identity", and he was reported wearing numerous clothes that looked like pizza throughout middle school, earning the nickname from teachers. The nickname eventually moved over to his racing career.[3]
Laster currently is an online student at Liberty University.
