Kaltreider first started racing in 2001, where he drove the No. 36 Ford for his own team at Charlotte, though failed to finish due to clutch problems. He kept racing on a part-time schedule throughout the years, normally at Pocono. On December 25, 2018, most of Kaltreider's equipment was destroyed in a shop fire. His cars were being updated for the 2019 ARCA Menards Series season (one by GMS Racing) but none of the losses were covered by insurance and only one legacy car was left.
