Early life

Family background

Cale Conley was born on May 13, 1992, in Vienna, West Virginia. He grew up in the Vienna area and graduated from in 2010. Conley's family has longstanding roots in the region, with his father, Yale Conley, having competed in ASA Asphalt Stock Car racing for many years and his uncle active in . His mother is Karmyn Conley, and he has two sisters, Cienna and Raemy, as well as a brother, Vinnie. This familial involvement in motorsports reflected the broader community ties to racing in the area. The Parkersburg-Vienna region boasts a deep motorsports heritage, beginning with West Virginia's first documented auto race on July 4, 1923, at Shattuck Park in Parkersburg, held on a half-mile horse track. Local facilities such as Ohio Valley Speedway, opened in 1958 near Parkersburg, have hosted stock car events, fostering a culture of grassroots dirt and asphalt racing that permeated community life. This environment, alongside his family's racing legacy, sparked Conley's early passion for the sport, leading him to go-karting as a child.

Introduction to racing

Cale Conley began his racing career at the age of five, strapping into a mini wedge , a common entry point for young racers. He spent approximately five years competing in the mini wedge division before progressing to asphalt quarter midgets, where he achieved notable success, including multiple race wins and regional championships. This early phase laid the foundation for his development in open-wheel , as he transitioned to Kenyon midgets around age 15 and sprint cars by age 16. Growing up in Vienna, , Conley's initial experiences were rooted in the local scene, where he honed his skills at nearby tracks before venturing into national series. His family's involvement in motorsports provided encouragement and support, fostering his passion from a young age. These formative years in quarter midgets and early open-wheel events emphasized fundamental driving techniques and racecraft in regional competitions across and adjacent areas. Conley graduated from in 2010, balancing his burgeoning racing commitments with education by home-schooling during his final year to accommodate extensive travel and missed school days from prior competitions. This approach allowed him to maintain academic progress while dedicating more time to racing development, marking the end of his amateur phase as he prepared for professional opportunities.

Professional racing career

Stock car development

Conley entered in 2011 with a debut in the K&N Pro Series East, competing in 10 of the 12 events for family-owned Yale Conley Racing in the No. 47 Chevrolet. His rookie season yielded no top-10 finishes, with an average starting position of 23.5 and an average finish of 19.9, placing him 19th in the final standings. In 2012, Conley continued on a part-time schedule with Yale Conley Racing, now driving a , and marked a breakthrough by earning his first career victory in the series at Columbus Motor Speedway. Starting second, he led all 150 laps in the Jegs 150 to secure the win, part of a season that included three top-five finishes, two poles, and a 19th-place points finish across eight starts. Conley's progression culminated in a full-time effort during the 2013 season, again with Yale Conley Racing in the No. 47, this time backed by sponsor Tait Towers and featuring a entry. He recorded four top-five finishes and five top-10s over 14 races, along with one , leading to a career-best 12th in the championship standings with an average finish of 13.7. This performance highlighted his adaptation from an open-wheel background to the demands of stock car competition in developmental series.

NASCAR Xfinity Series

Conley made his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut in 2014 with , driving the No. 33 Chevrolet at , where he started 12th and finished 11th after recovering from a lap down. His prior experience in the K&N Pro Series East provided valuable preparation for the step up to national stock car competition. Over the course of 11 starts that year, primarily with RCR, Conley achieved his career-best finish of sixth at in September, marking his lone top-10 result in the series. In , Conley transitioned to a full-time role with TriStar Motorsports in the No. 14 , competing in 30 races and securing a 20th-place points finish despite the challenges of a smaller . The season included competitive showings, such as a 16th at , but was marred by mechanical issues and on-track incidents, including a multi-car wreck at the same track late in the year and a spin during the Firecracker 250 at Daytona that damaged his car. Funding shortages ultimately forced an early end to his campaign after October, preventing participation in the final three races. Following a year away from the series in 2016 due to sponsorship difficulties, Conley returned part-time in with JGL Racing's No. 24 , making his lone appearance at , where he finished 32nd after starting 32nd. Across his 42 career starts from 2014 to , persistent funding constraints and team transitions limited his opportunities for consistent success, though his debut promise highlighted potential in .

Transition to sprint cars

After facing ongoing funding shortages that curtailed his NASCAR Xfinity Series opportunities, Conley made his final stock car start at in May 2017 before shifting focus away from pavement racing. These financial constraints, which had previously forced him to end his 2015 full-time campaign early, ultimately led to a lack of competitive rides in stock cars. Seeking to return to his open-wheel foundations—where he had competed in sprint cars as a teenager—Conley re-entered at the close of 2016, piloting a sprint car for John Shewbrooks in the season's final events. In 2017, he expanded his schedule with Dave Jessup's team, contesting approximately 40 regional winged sprint car races across the Midwest, where he secured several victories that built momentum for a higher-profile commitment. This resurgence culminated in January 2018, when Conley signed a full-time deal to drive the No. 7K sprint car for Jessup in Tony Stewart's Arctic Cat Circuit of Champions, targeting 55 events on 36 tracks. Transitioning back to the high-stakes dirt environment presented challenges, including adapting to the intense competition against veterans, though Conley's prior sprint car experience from age 16 onward eased the shift from stock cars' enclosed cockpits and pavement handling. Early outings in the series showed promise, with consistent top finishes that solidified his role in the national tour.

All Star Circuit of Champions

Later transitioning to the No. 3C with Ravici Racing around 2020, he continued to build on his success. Conley's breakthrough came on July 11, , when he captured his first All Star Circuit of Champions victory in the Lou Blaney Memorial at Sharon Speedway, leading all 35 laps from the during Ohio Sprint Speedweek. The win held deep personal significance, as the event honored , grandfather of Conley's wife, Emma Blaney, whose family owns the track and has deep roots in . This emotional triumph marked a pivotal moment in his sprint car career, solidifying his presence in the series. In 2021, Conley competed in 17 All Star events, earning 1,318 points for a 28th-place points finish while also securing a runner-up position in a FAST 410 sprint car feature at Attica Raceway Park. He continued his dual involvement in the Circuit and the FAST 410 Sprint Series through 2022, where he raced 28 events and notched multiple top-10 finishes, before maintaining an active schedule in both series from 2023 to 2025. As of November 2025, Conley remains an active competitor in the Circuit of Champions, participating in key 2025 events including the Ambush and Sprint Speedweek rounds at Sharon Speedway. Over his sprint car , he has accumulated five feature wins, 18 finishes, and no pole positions across 246 starts, with his All Star success highlighting his adaptability and consistency in winged 410 .
