Daniel Wayne Dye (born December 4, 2003) is an American professional stock car racing driver.

Racing career

ARCA Menards Series East

2020–2021

Dye would first race in the ARCA Menards Series East in 2020, driving the No. 43 for Ben Kennedy Racing. 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. 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. 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 West

2021–2022

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 in 2021, he would finish 12th. In 2022, he ran at Phoenix again in a companion event with the ARCA Menards Series, finishing second.

ARCA Menards Series

2021

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.

2022

In 2022, he planned to run a full-time schedule for GMS Racing in the No. 43. Dye was instead charged with felony battery after striking a fellow student in the scrotum in what witnesses described as a "game". Dye was indefinitely suspended from ARCA competition after three races. Prior to the race at the Kansas Speedway, Dye was reinstated by ARCA after his charges were dropped from felony to misdemeanor and went on to compete in the event, finishing 3rd. Despite not winning a race, he nearly won the Championship until a mechanical issue relegated him to an 18th-place finish at the season finale in Toledo, which resulted in a runner-up to Nick Sanchez by 14 points in the final standings. Despite this, he won Rookie of the Year honors ahead of Sanchez's teammate Rajah Caruth.

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series

Dye's No. 43 truck at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2024.

On October 25, 2022, GMS Racing announced that Dye would compete full-time in the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, making his series debut in the No. 43 Chevrolet Silverado.

On September 27, 2023, Dye signed with McAnally-Hilgemann Racing for 2024. Dye will continue using the No. 43.

On February 23, Dye would win his first career pole at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

NASCAR Xfinity Series

On September 17, 2023, it was announced that Dye would run three races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for Alpha Prime Racing, driving the No. 44 Chevrolet with sponsorship from Champion Container.

In 2024, Dye will run a partial schedule with Kaulig Racing, driving the No. 10 Chevrolet Camaro.

Personal life

Dye is a second-generation driver, the son of Stacy Rumbaugh and Randy Dye, a prominent businessman in Daytona Beach, Florida who owns two auto dealerships: Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram and Maserati Alfa Romeo of Daytona. Randy Dye was a former Pro Late Model driver who since July 2017 has served on the board of directors for The NASCAR Foundation. He is a cousin of MLB player for the Kansas City Royals, Josh Dye.

Dye attended Father Lopez Catholic High School.

Philanthropy

At the end of 2018 with his Pro Late Model debut on the horizon, he created the Race to Stop Suicide campaign in partnership with The NASCAR Foundation and Halifax Health with help from his father Randy who serves on the board of directors for The NASCAR Foundation.

In October 2019, at only 15-years-old, Dye himself raised and donated over $15,000 towards Halifax Health's mental health programs.
