In 2014, Ranger left Dave Jacombs's team and joined D. J. Kennington's DJK Racing to drive the No. 27 Dodge. He would remain with the team through 2019. Ranger did not participate in the abbreviated 2020 Pinty's Series season held during the COVID-19 pandemic. He returned to the series in 2021 driving for Rick Ware Racing's new Pinty's Series team.
