Racing career

Stout began racing karts in western New York at age 11. After winning track championships, he moved up to Super Trucks (which is a class of late model chassis with truck bodies) at age 15 and won track championships. He then began racing late model stock cars at age 18 throughout western New York and Pennsylvania. He then competed part-time in the NASCAR Truck Series from 2003 to 2010, the Nationwide (now Xfinity) Series from 2008 to 2010, and the K&N Pro Series East (now the ARCA Menards Series East) in 2013. On December 20, 2021, Stout announced his return to NASCAR, restarting his Xfinity Series team which last competed in the series in 2009 after buying some Toyotas from Joe Gibbs Racing. The team name was previously Stellar Quest Racing and would be renamed as SQR Development. The team had plans to run ten to twelve races with the first one being at Richmond.
