Payton Freeman burst on to the dirt super late model scene in 2021. In his first full season of super late model racing, Freeman hit the road with the Southern All Star Series. Along the way he earned victories at Clayhill Speedway in Atwood, Tenn., and I-75 Raceway in Sweetwater, Tenn.
Those two victories, coupled with a consistent season, allowed Freeman to secure the Southern All Star Series championship as well as the series’ rookie of the year award. In total, Freeman picked up four victories on dirt during the 2021 season.
The native of Commerce, Ga., grew up racing. He started in go karts before eventually working his way from four cylinders to 604 dirt late models. In November of 2018 a fire devastated the family race shop and put Freeman on the sidelines.
Undeterred, Freeman and company were back on track by March of the following year. In his first race back after the fire, Freeman drove to victory at Georgia’s Senoia Raceway.
