Source-derived summary

Ted D. Minor (born February 1, 1974) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He last competed part-time in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series, driving the No. 25 Chevrolet Silverado for self-owned Ted Minor Motorsports.

Racing career

Minor started his racing career in 2001 on Texas dirt tracks and has progressed to racing on asphalt tracks in the ARCA, USST series, and super late models.

Minor's first stock car start came in the ARCA Racing Series in 2010 driving the No. 89 for Lafferty Motorsports at Salem, but he crashed after 70 laps and finished 25th. It is to date his only ARCA attempt.

Minor has made seven starts in the NASCAR's Truck Series. He attempted to make his debut at the spring Martinsville race in 2014 for Cefalia Motorsports but the team withdrew after the first practice. His debut came at Gateway driving for that same team.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1974, 2001, 2010, 2014—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1974-02-01. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Minor, American and racing providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Ted Minor”, the useful work is to connect “american racing driver” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q45325337. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1974, 2001, 2010 and 2014.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
