After growing up helping his father at local short tracks in Texas, Bearden began in kart racing. In 2007, he won the Oklahoma National Series championship and started competing in the World Karting Association's Manufacturers Cup.{{cite web|url=https://loganbearden.com/#about|title=About Logan|work=Logan Bearden|access-date=May 21, 2021}} He eventually switched to pro modifieds, winning a rookie of the year award in 2013.{{cite news|last=Whipple|first=Phil|url=https://speed51.com/texas-native-geared-up-for-a-california-showdown/|title=Texas Native Geared Up for a California Showdown|publisher=Speed51|date=January 28, 2019|access-date=May 21, 2021}}

Bearden later moved to late models, with his first start in the SPEARS Southwest Tour Series coming at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring in 2017.{{cite news|url=https://www.srlsouthwesttour.com/logan-bearden-will-make-the-trip-from-austin-texas-to-the-bullring/|title=Logan Bearden will make the trip from Austin, Texas, to the Bullring|work=SRL Southwest Tour|date=November 6, 2017|access-date=May 21, 2021}} In 2018, he entered the CARS Super Late Model Tour race at Fairgrounds Speedway, where he finished 12th.{{cite web|url=https://www.racing-reference.info/race-results/2018_North-South_SLM_Challenge_100/C2/|title=2018 North-South SLM Challenge 100|work=Racing-Reference|publisher=NASCAR Digital Media, LLC|access-date=May 21, 2021}} Bearden has also competed in the Snowball Derby.{{cite news|url=https://www.5flagsspeedway.com/first-look-at-50th-annual-snowball-derby-entry-lists/|title=First Look at 50th Annual Snowball Derby Entry Lists|work=Five Flags Speedway|date=October 19, 2019|access-date=May 21, 2021}}

After skipping 2020, Bearden returned to racing in the SPEARS Southwest Tour Series in 2021.{{cite news|url=https://www.speedwaydigest.com/index.php/news/racing-news/60478-all-star-showdown-kicks-off-2021-season-for-logan-bearden|title=All-Star Showdown kicks off 2021 season for Logan Bearden|work=Speedway Digest|date=February 5, 2021|access-date=May 21, 2021}} In May, he joined Niece Motorsports for his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut at Circuit of the Americas.{{cite news|last=Glover|first=Luken|url=https://www.frontstretch.com/2021/05/17/logan-bearden-attempting-truck-debut-cota/|title=Logan Bearden Attempting Truck Debut at COTA|publisher=Frontstretch|date=May 17, 2021|access-date=May 21, 2021}} However, he was one of seven drivers who failed to qualify for the race.{{cite news|last=Long|first=Dustin|url=https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2021/05/22/tyler-ankrum-kaz-grala-sheldon-creed-matt-crafton-todd-gilliland-cota-truck-starting-lineup-tyler-ankrum-wins-pole/|title=COTA Truck starting lineup: Tyler Ankrum wins pole|publisher=NBC Sports|date=May 22, 2021|access-date=May 23, 2021}}
