Racing career

Perkins started his racing career in Bandolero racing.[1]
Perkins made his debut in the West Series in 2015 at All American Speedway in Roseville, California, driving the No. 54 Toyota for Bill McAnally Racing, where he started 17th and finished 13th. After that, he secured a full-time ride in the series the following season with Steve Portenga Racing in their No. 21 car.
Perkins moved to the ARCA Racing Series for 2018, and drove in five races for Mason Mitchell Motorsports in the team's No. 98 and No. 78 Chevrolet's. He had previously made his debut in the series the prior year at Kentucky for Mitchell's team, where he started and finished ninth in that race.[2]
In 2019, Perkins focused on local racing, winning track championships at Irwindale Speedway and Kern County Raceway Park as well as winning the California title in the Whelen All-American Series.[1]
Perkins returned to the West Series in 2020, joining Sunrise Ford Racing to drive their No. 9 Ford, replacing Jagger Jones as a driver on the team. Perkins' new teammate Trevor Huddleston drove the No. 9 in 2019 and moved to the No. 6, replacing Jones.[3] Perkins earned his first win in the West Series in the second race of the Utah Motorsports Campus doubleheader on June 27. He also won the pole for the first race of the doubleheader, which was his first pole in the West Series.[4] He finished eleventh in that race.
Perkins moved up to the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2021, driving part-time for Our Motorsports in their new second car, the No. 03, for at least six races beginning at Martinsville in April.[5]
