A native of High Point, North Carolina, Rhodes started racing at age 10 in midget cars.[1] He moved up to Legends cars at the end of 2007, battling for the 2009 national championship;[2] he wound up finishing second.[1]

After competing in NASCAR local competition and the UARA Late Model Series in 2011, Rhodes moved up in 2012 to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East; after racing in two events for Spraker Racing, he moved to MacDonald Motorsports, racing in three of the final seven races of the season.[3] He posted his best finish in the series, fourth, in his first race of the year at Bowman-Gray Stadium.[4][5] Rhodes also drove in four Pro Cup Series races during the year, posting a best finish of fifth at Anderson Motor Speedway.[6]

For 2013, Rhodes moved up to the Nationwide Series, making his series debut at Phoenix International Raceway driving for Rick Ware Racing in association with R3 Motorsports in the No. 23 Ford.[7]
