Racing career

ARCA Menards Series East

Dye would first race in the ARCA Menards Series East in 2020, driving the No. 43 with Ben Kennedy Racing.[1] Dye would race two races that season, retiring at New Smyrna Speedway and finishing seventh at Five Flags Speedway.

Dye would come back in the 2021 season, this time with a scheduled full-time ride with Ben Kennedy Racing.[2] However, Dye would only compete for four of the scheduled eight races before eventually switching teams. For the last four races of the season, Dye would race the No. 21 for GMS Racing.[3] Dye, combined with his results from Ben Kennedy Racing and GMS Racing, would finish second in the final standings, only being beaten by Sammy Smith.

ARCA Menards Series

Dye would run a part-time schedule in the ARCA Menards Series in 2021 with GMS Racing, driving the No. 21 along with his full-time schedule in the ARCA Menards Series East. He would run six races in the 2021 season. After a seventh-place finish in his debut at the 2021 Menards 250, Dye would dominate the next race at Berlin Raceway in the 2021 Zinsser SmartCoat 200, scoring his first-ever ARCA Menards Series win in just his second-ever start in the series.[4]

ARCA Menards Series West

Dye would first race in the ARCA Menards Series West as a one-off race at Phoenix Raceway, driving the No. 22 for GMS Racing.[3] Dye would finish 12th in the race.
