About

Carson Pounds.

A 16-year-old Legends Charger driver from Butler, Georgia — and the 2025 Charger Points Champion at Cordele Motor Speedway.

The Story

Born aroundthe race track.

Long before Carson ever buckled into a race car, his world already sounded like one. Weekends at the track shaped his childhood — the smell of fuel, the rhythm of the paddock, the energy in the air — long before he understood any of it.

The garage became a second home. Race crews became extended family. Racing wasn't something Carson watched on a screen — it was something he lived inside of, every weekend, for as long as he can remember.

Pit area

Watching the Bandoleros lit the fuse. Carson didn't just want to be at the track anymore — he wanted to be on it. He started planning. He wanted a Bandolero of his own.

But timing has its own ideas. By the time the opportunity actually came around, Carson had grown too old and too tall for the class he'd been dreaming about for years. The car he wanted was no longer a car he could fit in.

Most kids would have stopped there. Carson didn't.

Year One

Rookie In.Champion Out.

At the start of last season, Carson climbed into a Legends car for the very first time. New chassis. New class. New everything.

By the end of that same season, he was the Charger Points Champion at Cordele Motor Speedway — earning two feature wins, eight top-five finishes, and ten top-twelve finishes as a rookie.

Now entering only his second season, Carson has already added one top-five and two top-tens through the first three races.

The plan ahead: compete in the full Thursday Thunder Series and most races at Cordele Motor Speedway, while continuing to sharpen the craft race by race.

His biggest accomplishment

For Carson, the championship trophy isn't the headline. The real win is getting faster every time he races — measurable, honest improvement, every single weekend.

His biggest challenge

Learning to focus on running his own race — instead of worrying about who he's racing against. The discipline of staying inside his own car.

Why local racing matters

It gives people a place to compete, have fun, and build memories close to home. That community is worth protecting, showing up for, and representing well.

Why he keeps showing up

He genuinely loves the sport. Every lap is a chance to learn something new. Every race weekend is another set of reps.

Off the track

One of his biggest goals away from racing is continuing to grow in his relationship with Jesus Christ — keeping his perspective grounded no matter how the season goes.

Humility

The championship doesn't change how he carries himself. He's still the same kid in the shop, asking the same questions, doing the same work.
