Thad Moffitt
Thaddeus Drake Moffitt (born September 12, 2000) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He last competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 46/70 Toyota for Nitro Motorsports. He previously competed in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Growing up in a racing family, Moffitt cut his teeth in go-karts at age fourteen and later moved up to quarter midgets and limited late models, running at tracks like Caraway Speedway and Ace Speedway. Speaking about having racers in the family, he said that advice will be given upon request but also that older relatives wanted him to develop without help. Moffitt was the 2016 Southeast Limited Late Model champion and won his first late model race earlier that year.
Moffitt made his ARCA Racing Series debut in April 2017 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, driving a car reminiscent of one driven by his grandfather Richard Petty, for Empire Racing, a satellite team of Richard Petty Motorsports. He ran a total of three races in 2017. Moffitt's best finish was eleventh, at Lucas Oil Raceway.
In early 2018, Moffitt tested at Daytona International Speedway and announced races at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, Pocono Raceway and Lucas Oil with the potential for more races to be added later in the year. In his second start of the year, at Salem Speedway, Moffitt was involved in two incidents, one with Natalie Decker and one with Jack Dossey III. Moffitt rebounded from a mid-race spin in his next race to claim his first top ten, finishing tenth in the race at Toledo.
On January 9, 2020, it was announced that Moffitt would join DGR-Crosley for the season-opening race at Daytona, and would then run all races on the schedule until sponsorship dried up, plus Memphis, which the team had previously signed a sponsor for. He claimed three top-five finishes over thirteen races, with a career-best finish of fourth at Memphis.
In January 2021, it was announced that Moffitt would return to ARCA with the renamed David Gilliland Racing team for at least eleven races that year. He proceeded to compete in almost the entire season, only being replaced by Taylor Gray for the dirt races and Canadian J. P. Bergeron for the final two events. At Michigan, Moffitt was involved in controversy after his retaliation attempt against Drew Dollar for a previous wreck that resulted in a crash that injured Tim Richmond.
On January 7, 2025, it was announced that Moffitt would return to running ARCA full time with Nitro Motorsports.
On June 10, 2025, it was revealed that Moffitt would scale to part-time for Nitro so that they would make room for Treyten Lapcevich and their No. 70 entry.
