Racing career

In 2000, Wilson made his debut in the NASCAR Goody's Dash Series. Over the next three seasons Wilson made three starts at Daytona International Speedway resulting in a best finish of tenth in 2001.{{cite web|url=https://thethirdturn.com/wiki/Nolan_Wilson|title=Nolan Wilson |work=The Third Turn|access-date=February 5, 2025}} He also made a start at Charlotte Motor Speedway that same year, netting him a nineteenth place finish. During this time, he was in talks with Dale Earnhardt about starting a driving school which would have included Wilson making select starts in the NASCAR Busch Series while driving the No. 3 to promote the school, although those plans fell through after Earnhardt's death in the 2001 Daytona 500.{{cite web |title=A long time coming: Nolan Wilson, Jerry Nadeau excited for first Daytona race in more than two decades |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2025/02/06/nolan-wilson-jerry-nadeau-daytona/ |access-date=February 7, 2025 |website=ARCA Racing.com|date=6 February 2025 }} Afterwards, Wilson ran in the ASA Late Model Series on a part-time basis between 2006 to 2007.

On November 19, 2024, it was announced that Wilson would attempt to make his ARCA Menards Series debut at the season opening race at Daytona International Speedway in 2025, driving the No. 69 Ford for Kimmel Racing, with former NASCAR Cup Series driver Jerry Nadeau serving as a consultant for Wilson.{{Cite web |last=Christie |first=Toby |date=November 19, 2024 |title=Nolan Wilson Partners with Kimmel Racing, Jerry Nadeau for 2025 ARCA Daytona Run |url=https://tobychristie.com/nascar-regional/arca-menards-series/nolan-wilson-partners-with-kimmel-racing-jerry-nadeau-for-2025-arca-daytona-run/ |access-date=November 19, 2024 |website=TobyChristie.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://speedwaydigest.com/index.php/news/racing-news/316952-legendary-arca-racing-family-veteran-driver-nascar-cup-series-winner-team-up-for-2025-daytona-speedweeks/|title=Legendary ARCA Racing Family, Veteran Driver, NASCAR Cup Series Winner Team Up for 2025 Daytona Speedweeks - Speedway Digest - Home for NASCAR News|date=November 24, 2024}}{{cite web |title=Nolan Wilson joins Kimmel Racing for Daytona ARCA 200 at Daytona International Speedway |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2024/12/13/nolan-wilson-joins-kimmel-racing-for-daytona-arca-200-at-daytona-international-speedway/|access-date=December 17, 2024 |website=ARCA Racing.com}} After starting 28th due to qualifying being cancelled due to weather, Wilson finished in the same position in the race, retiring due to damage that he suffered in a multi-car crash only a handful of laps in.
