Collins' interest in racing first began at the age of six, when a classmate informed him of a "10 laps for $10" event at Tulsa Quarter Midgets Association.[1] Up until 2018, he had raced in various quarter-midget events, where he won six track championships, and up until his ARCA debut, he was running in various Baby Grand and Super Trucks Series events at Bolivar Speedway.[1]
In 2022, it was announced that Collins would make his ARCA Menards Series at Elko Speedway, driving the No. 7 Chevrolet for CCM Racing, whom he had previously served as a crew member for.[2] After placing fourteenth in the sole practice session,[3] he qualified and finished the race twelve laps down in thirteenth.[4][5] One month later, it was revealed that Collins would return with the team at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.[6] After placing seventeenth in the sole practice session,[7] he qualified in seventeenth, and finished seven laps down in fourteenth place.[8][9]
