ARCA Menards Series

With help of Toyota Racing Development employee Jack Irving, Lane was able to buy a car from Venturini Motorsports to race in a future ARCA Menards Series race. While looking for a location to store the car, Empire Racing would offer Lane a mechanic job for the team. He would first make his debut at the 2020 General Tire #AnywhereIsPossible 200, retiring in seventeenth due to a busted oil line. He would then suffer a crash at the 2020 Dutch Boy 150, finishing last in eighteenth. He would then get a new car for the 2020 General Tire 100, finishing sixteenth.
Lane would race two races in 2021 for Kimmel Racing, finishing eleventh and 21st in the first and second races he raced, respectively.
