While Dyson began his racing career racing karts on the dirt, most of his two-decade plus driving career has been road-racing on asphalt. Dyson began driving sprint cars and midgets on dirt around 2013, and he has worked hard to develop those skills. In March 2019, Dyson made his sprint car asphalt debut on the three-quarter-mile tri-oval Memphis track bringing him back to racing on a surface where he has many years of experience.
