Local racing Sellers started his racing career in
karting, beginning at the age of seven. By the age of 13, Sellers was driving
open wheel sprint cars, collecting 11 feature wins in his first 20 races. After competing for several years in Sprints, Sellers decided to try his hand in
stock car racing on asphalt ovals. He ran the 2001 season in the Limited Sportsman division at Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, North Carolina. He would go on to finish second in the
Toyota All-Star Showdown. In 2008, Sellers signed on with
Andy Santerre Motorsports in the No. 44 Chevrolet. Sellers took the pole and the win at the season opener at
Greenville-Pickens Speedway, in Greenville, SC. The victory was short-lived due to a rules infraction. Sellers was stripped of his win and given a 30th-place finish. At
Iowa, in the closing laps, Sellers took second from
Austin Dillon before a caution but he was placed back into fourth place on the restart (the position he was in on the restart after the previous yellow) because the NASCAR officials determined that a full lap had not been run since Sellers was in fourth and he never had the chance to challenge
Brian Ickler for the lead. In the season finale, at
Stafford Sellers finally win his first race. He finished the season eighth overall points standings, with a series high three poles. Peyton again came close to taking the win at the Toyota All-Star Showdown, with Jig-A-Loo as his sponsor, when a last lap spin out, while in the lead, made him finish 14th. The announcement came in December 2008 that Sellers would run a limited Nationwide Series schedule in 2009 with Cardinal Motorsports. Sellers is part owner of Cardinal motorsports, alongside Will Spencer of JKS Motorsports and Ed Berrier. In January Cardinal Motorsports announced a ten race NASCAR Nationwide sponsorship with SFP. Sellers was suspended from NASCAR competition on October 25, 2011, as a result of an altercation following a race at
South Boston Speedway until March 1, 2012. For 2015, Sellers planned to race in the
NASCAR Xfinity Series full-time, taking over the No. 97 for
Obaika Racing after
Josh Reaume was released from the team after three race weekends, but was released from the team after Watkins Glen due to mediocre results. After leaving NASCAR competition as a driver, Sellers he co-owned
NASCAR K&N Pro Series East team Hunt-Sellers Racing with former KNPSE competitor
Sam Hunt. However the partnership ended in 2018. Sam Hunt renamed his team to
Sam Hunt Racing and moved to Xfinity Series.
Regional racing Sellers' team (Sellers Racing Inc.) then fielded cars in the
NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series. Sellers continued to racing at local tracks. In 2021, Sellers won the track championships at
Dominion Speedway and South Boston Speedway to win his second NASCAR Weekly Series championships by 34 points. On April 2, 2022, the
Superstar Racing Experience announced that Sellers would race in the series' June 25 race at South Boston. ==Family life==
