He has also competed in theNASCAR Cup Series, what is now theARCA Menards Series East, and theARCA Menards Series West in the past.

Lupton began racing in 2010 in theLangers Juice S-2 Sportsman Series, which was a championship with fourteen races and those were all atIrwindale Event Center, then known as Toyota Speedway. Lupton managed to win three races and became champion withHigh Point Racing just two points in front of teammateRoman Lagudi. In 2011, he got two partial rides in theK&N Pro Series West. He drove one race for team ownerGreg Rayl and two races forBill McAnally Racing, including races at All American Speedway and the new Phoenix International Raceway. His best result of the season was twelfth place atMontana Raceway Park. In 2013 and2014, he got a full-time ride atSunrise Ford Racing in the K&N Pro Series West and became runner-up in 2014 seventeen points behind two-time championGreg Pursley. He won twice, in 2013 atEvergreen Speedway and in 2014 atKern County Raceway Park.

On February 16, 2015, it was announced that Lupton had been signed byAthenian Motorsports to compete part-time in the2015 NASCAR Xfinity Series. Lupton was hired to run a minimum of seven races in the No. 25 starting atPhoenix, with continued sponsorship fromZaxby's.^[1] Alsothat year, Lupton drove in one K&N Pro Series East race atWatkins Glen in order to gainroad course experience, because two of his scheduled Xfinity races were the road course races atRoad America andMid-Ohio Sports Car Course. His road course runs were strong, finishing in fourth place in the Watkins Glen East Series race, and then earning his best finishes of the year in his Xfinity schedule with a ninth at Mid-Ohio and a thirteenth at Road America.

Lupton started the2016 Xfinity season without a ride, however on March 1, 2016, it was announced that Lupton signed a deal to drive the No. 93Chevy forRSS Racing for 3 races, starting at Las Vegas.^[2] However, the team withdrew from the Vegas race,^[3] delaying his debut until the following race at Phoenix, and was replaced byJosh Reaume at Las Vegas.

In 2016, Lupton joinedBK Racing to attempt hisSprint Cup Series debut at theToyota/Save Mart 350. Lupton would finish 35th in the race.^[4] He returned to the team at Richmond'sFederated Auto Parts 400 in the No. 83. He would be involved in a big wreck, with his car ending up on top ofRyan Newman's car, but he would stay in the race and finish 25th.^[5] Lupton made his Truck Series debut at Talladega, driving the No. 02 Chevrolet forYoung's Motorsports, he finished twelfth. Lupton then made his second Truck Series race at Phoenix, substitutingJohn Wes Townley, earning a nineteenth place finish.

Lupton ran part-time in the Xfinity Series in 2017 with a limited schedule in No. 24 forJGL Racing and announced in January 2018 that he and JGL were planning to run 21 races throughout the upcoming Xfinity season (with the hope to run the full schedule if more sponsorship was available). Lupton had a few top-25s but was disappointed for the most part in the other races, failing to finish Daytona, Las Vegas, Fontana, Bristol, Talladega, and Charlotte. He wasn't originally supposed to race in the Bristol race, but with the struggles ofTony Mrakovich in practice, JGL Racing chose Lupton to replace him. JGL shut down after 12 races into the season due to sponsorship issues and team owner James Whitener's health problems.^[6]
