Sylas, a third-generation racecar driver hailing from Maine, comes from a family with a long history in racing. While he grew up observing the sport, he developed a strong interest in basketball, which he actively pursues alongside his rigorous training regimen. Despite his commitment to basketball, Sylas maintains a deep passion for racecars and often spends his free time at the race shop when he is not engaged in school or on the basketball court.

​

After claiming 2 out of 3 segments in the PASS 400 at Oxford Plains, Sylas and Team Hornaday struck a deal to join forces with Rackley War Racing for 1 event to end the season. They agreed that Sylas would take part in the 2024 Snowflake 100 at 5 Flags Speedway. He showed strong performance, landing in the top 5 during two of the three practice sessions.
