Choquette currently competes in the ASA Midwest Tour; he scored his first win in the series in 2011 at Iowa Speedway.[7] In 2012, he made his Camping World Truck Series debut at Iowa Speedway in July, driving the No. 97 Chevrolet for the Adrian Carriers Racing Team;[8] he drove to 11th place in his first event in the series.[1] Choquette also drove for the team in the ARCA Racing Series at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in August, finishing 25th in his debut race,[9] before returning to the Camping World Truck Series in its second race of the year at Iowa Speedway in September,[10] finishing eighth in the event; Choquette would race once more in the series in 2012, at Phoenix International Raceway, finishing 30th after an accident.[11]
