King Racing is a family run race team based out of Pictou, Nova Scotia. Rollie MacDonald, the owner of King Racing, started his racing career in 1965. MacDonald competed in many events and series including ASA, MASCAR, and the Maritime Pro Stock Tour along with the help of his son, David MacDonald and other team members.

Rollie was extremely competitive throughout his career winning multiple championships (1983 MASCAR and 2005 Pro Stock Tour), and many races. In 1999, Rollie went on to form an alliance with two-time MASCAR Champion, Scott Fraser. Fraser and MacDonald made an extremely well pairing, winning many races throughout their five-year alliance.

During their first year together, the team raced throughout Canada and the United States competing in Speed-weeks (New Smyrna) where they won 2 races and the 1999 MASCAR series winning 2 of six races they entered. Over the next two years, Fraser and MacDonald competed in the ASA Series claiming 5 top five finishes and four top 10 finishes. This family run team continued to be competitive throughout the next decade competing in many events with Cassius Clark as driver and Andrew Hicken as crew chief. This team was extremely competitive, being the first team to win the Triple Crown in the Maritimes, the 2019 IWK 250, the Toromont Cat 250 and the Speedway 660 Pro Stock 250. To date this pairing is still winning races as they won the Oxford 250 in 2021, a long sought after goal.

In 2014, Rollie MacDonald’s grandson Austin started his racing career in Bandolero cars at local tracks like Scotia Speedworld and Petty Raceway. Moving through the ranks Austin won multiple Bandolero championships and at the age of 12, he decided to step up to a Legend Car. Austin has many notable Legend Car wins and also a few Championships under his belt including the 2019 Battle at the Big Top Championship and multiple International Championships. Continuing to move classes Austin currently races Pro Late Model Cars in both Canada and the United States. Over the last 2 years Austin has competed in the CARS Tour in North Carolina, the PASS series based in Maine, and also the Maritime Pro Stock Tour where he has achieved 2 wins, multiple podium finishes along with many top 5 finishes.

Currently the family, works together with many other team members and the help of King Competition to field a very competitive Late Model team based in their hometown. This sport has always been a part of the family and you could say … its in the blood.
