Connor Hall (racing driver)

Hall drove in three races for Marsh Racing in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2018. Driving their No. 31 Chevrolet, he earned a top-10 finish in his series debut at Langley. He then competed in the doubleheader races at South Boston,{{cite web |first=Tim |last=Disspain |url=https://pitstopradio.net/2018/05/09/hall-looking-forward-to-second-start-in-marsh-racing-31-at-south-boston/ |title=Hall Looking Forward to Second Start in Marsh Racing #31 at South Boston |website=PitStopRadio.net |publisher=WordPress |date=May 9, 2018 |accessdate=March 13, 2020 |archive-date=June 28, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210628180721/https://pitstopradio.net/2018/05/09/hall-looking-forward-to-second-start-in-marsh-racing-31-at-south-boston/ |url-status=live }} but unluckily crashed out in both. He finished 11th in the first race and 13th in the second one.

Hall made his debut in the ARCA Menards Series in 2019 at their season-opener at Daytona driving Chad Bryant Racing's No. 22 car.{{cite web |first=Marty |last=O'Brien |url=https://www.dailypress.com/sports/dp-spt-langley-speedway-connor-hall-0206-story.html |title=Connor Hall lands ride for ARCA Series race at Daytona |website=The Daily Press |date=February 5, 2019 |accessdate=March 13, 2020 |archive-date=January 25, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125105058/https://www.dailypress.com/sports/dp-spt-langley-speedway-connor-hall-0206-story.html |url-status=live }} It was his only scheduled start of the year, as the primary driver of that car for the season, Corey Heim, was only 16 years old and ineligible to race at the track. It was also announced at that time that he would be returning to Marsh's No. 31 in the East Series for the New Smyrna season-opener in that series.{{cite web |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2019/02/05/connor-hall-teams-with-chad-bryant-racing-for-daytona/ |title=Connor Hall Teams with Chad Bryant Racing for Daytona |website=ARCARacing.com |date=February 5, 2019 |accessdate=March 13, 2020 |archive-date=June 28, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210628180719/https://www.arcaracing.com/2019/02/05/connor-hall-teams-with-chad-bryant-racing-for-daytona/ |url-status=live }} Hall did end up running one more race later in the season, which came at Michigan when Bryant's team fielded a third car, the No. 7, for him.
