A native of High Point, North Carolina, Rhodes started racing at age 10 in midget cars.[1] He moved up to Legends cars at the end of 2007, battling for the 2009 national championship;[2] he wound up finishing second.[1]

After competing in NASCAR local competition and the UARA Late Model Series in 2011, Rhodes moved up in 2012 to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East; after racing in two events for Spraker Racing, he moved to MacDonald Motorsports, racing in three of the final seven races of the season.[3] He posted his best finish in the series, fourth, in his first race of the year at Bowman-Gray Stadium.[4][5] Rhodes also drove in four Pro Cup Series races during the year, posting a best finish of fifth at Anderson Motor Speedway.[6]

For 2013, Rhodes moved up to the Nationwide Series, making his series debut at Phoenix International Raceway driving for Rick Ware Racing in association with R3 Motorsports in the No. 23 Ford.[7]

In 2014, Rhodes moved to SR² Motorsports, driving the No. 24 Toyota in selected races starting at Daytona International Speedway.[8]

He failed to qualify for the season opener, missed 4 races and drive two for MBM Motorsports. He had a best finish of 9th at the July Daytona race.[9] On January 28, 2016, it was announced Rhodes will drive the No. 97 Chevrolet Camaro for Obaika Racing full-time, replacing various drivers. Rhodes was replaced by Ryan Ellis for the spring Texas race.

On February 7, 2017, JD Motorsports announced that Rhodes would return to the team for the full 2017 season, driving the No. 01 car.[10] However, Sheldon Creed replaced Rhodes in the No. 01 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.[11] Vinnie Miller replaced Rhodes full-time in the No. 01 for the 2018 season.[12]
