Racing career

edit

In 2013, Meunier made his debut in the ARCA Racing Series at Salem Speedway, driving the No. 70 Dodge for Carter 2 Motorsports, where he started 24th and finished in 23rd due to a crash. He then made three more starts with the team that year, this time in the No. 40, where he got a best finish of sixteenth at Elko Speedway. Meunier then made four more starts the following year, spitting time between Kimmel Racing and C2M, getting a best finish of eighteenth at the season ending race at Kansas Speedway.

In 2015, Meunier ran half of the schedule, this time solely driving for Kimmel Racing, where he was running at the end in one race, that coming a Kentucky Speedway, where he finished in eighteenth. He then made only three starts the following year, running for Kimmel at Berlin Raceway, where he finished 21st due to brake issues, and two for Wayne Peterson Racing, finishing 27th at Kentucky due to brake issues, and 33rd at Kansas due to vibrations in the car.

In 2017, Meunier ran thirteen races, with a majority of the starts he made that year coming with Wayne Peterson Racing. He finished only four of those races, getting a best finish of eighteenth at Toledo Speedway. He then made only four more starts for Peterson the following year, getting a best result of 22nd at Gateway Motorsports Park.

In 2019, it was revealed that Meunier would attempt to make his debut in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Iowa Speedway, driving the No. 17 Chevrolet for Rick Ware Racing in collaboration with Mike Harmon Racing.[1][2] After failing to set a time in the first practice session, and setting the slowest time in the second session, he ultimately failed to qualify for the race after suffering a crash in qualifying.[3] This was his most recent attempt as a driver, as he has not raced since then.[4]

Personal life

edit

Meunier worked as an employee for the Richard Petty Driving Experience from 2013 to 2017, and is the owner of Advantage Roofing and Construction, LLC.[1]
