context_section_description: Due to the lack of racing opportunities and the large amount of racing pushback in his hometown Chicago area, Murphy often raced in southeastern Wisconsin at tracks like Madison International Speedway and the Milwaukee Mile. Murphy gained substantial attention in 2012 when he won a Midwest Truck Series race at the Mile by way of a three-wide pass. Starting in 2013, Murphy instructed drivers on road courses like Road America and the Daytona International Speedway road course.
