Rouse's NASCAR career began in the K&N Pro Series West. He made his debut for Bob Bruncati's Sunrise Ford Racing in 2016.[2] Rouse then left the K&N Pro Series West to compete for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the 2017 CARS Super Late Model Tour.[3] He later joined Venturini Motorsports to compete in two ARCA Racing Series events at the end of the 2017 season.[4]
