Early years Sargeant began his career at age nine, racing karts as well as bandoleros, with dreams of pursuing both a stock car and open wheel career. In 2012 at the age of 13, Sargeant and his brother moved to
Switzerland to compete in European open wheel series. He scored wins in the WSK Euro Series and the CIK-FIA European KF3 Championship, and tested a
Formula Renault car. After returning to the United States in 2014, Sargeant competed in late models for
Lee Pulliam Performance and
Wauters Motorsports, scoring several victories including one at
Orange County Speedway. Sargeant finished second in the
Snowball Derby in December 2014, placing runner up to
John Hunter Nemechek.
Developmental series For 2015, Sargeant signed with
HScott Motorsports to drive the No. 51
Chevrolet SS in the
NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, with sponsorship from GALT. He debuted in the series in February 2015 at
New Smyrna Speedway with a second-place finish. On August 12, 2015, Sargeant announced he would make his
Camping World Truck Series debut at the
UNOH 200 at
Bristol Motor Speedway for
Wauters Motorsports. Sargeant competed in the
ARCA Racing Series during the 2016 season. He ran 15 races for
Venturini Motorsports with one win, ten top five and twelve top ten finishes. He was named the 2016 ARCA Rookie of the Year. He signed with
Cunningham Motorsports to run the entire
2017 ARCA Racing Series schedule alongside
Shane Lee. In the third race of the season, he lapped the field en route to victory at
Salem Speedway. He also won at
Iowa Speedway and beat
Michael Self en route to victory at
Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis. Sargeant finished outside of the top ten only twice and finished second in the championship standings to
Ken Schrader Racing driver
Austin Theriault.
National series After sporadic appearances in the
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2015 and 2017, Sargeant signed with
GMS Racing to drive the team's No. 25 truck for a full 2018 season on January 12, 2018. He chose the No. 25 as a tribute to
Tim Richmond. Sargeant was approached by
Maurice J. Gallagher Jr., owner of GMS, midway through 2017 after winning races in the
2017 ARCA Racing Series season with
Cunningham Motorsports. On August 22, 2018, it was announced that he left the team and would be replaced by
Spencer Gallagher starting at Mosport (then later on
Timothy Peters after Gallagher aggravated his shoulder during a workout) due to "unfortunate circumstances" regarding Sargeant Motorsports. ==Personal life==
