Daniel Dalton Sargeant, mostly known as Dalton Sargeant, was born in Boca Raton, Florida, on March 25, 1998. He started his career early at the age of 9. And by the time he was 13 years old, Dalton moved to Switzerland with his brother Logan to compete in the European open-wheel series.
In 2015, Sargeant pursued TUDOR United SportsCar Championship‘s Rolex 24 at Daytona but was declined. The reasons for the decline were his age and inexperience with sports cars. Sargeant was only 16 years old then, but the race required the driver’s age to be 17. Regarding age, few exceptions have been made in the past, but Dalton’s lack of experience kept him away from Rolex 24.
Later in the same year, Sargeant signed with HScott Motorsports to drive the No. 51 Chevrolet SS in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and finished in second place at New Smyrna Speedway. Then, on August 12, 2015, Sargeant announced his Camping World Truck Series debut at Bristol Motor Speedway for Wauters Motorsports.
Sargeant had a promising career ahead of him. In 2016, he partook in 15 races for Venturini Motorsports with one win, ten top five, and twelve top ten finishes. He was even named the 2016 ARCA Rookie of the Year. Dalton joined GMS Racing for an entire 2018 season on January 12, 2018. Unfortunately, on August 22, 2018, Dalton announced that he had left the team and was replaced by Spencer Gallagher.
The fans were heartbroken by this news. But regardless of what happened, fans were optimistic about Dalton’s return. Unfortunately, Dalton has never raced again. But looking at his Instagram, Sargeant seems to be living a happy life apart from the racing fields. And whatever endeavor Dalton may approach, his friend, family, and fans will be happy to see the former truck series driver gear up in his life.
