== Career ==
In 2009, Reb made it to the Piston Cup with Tank Coat replacing Eugene Carburski. Reb befriended Lightning McQueen, Cal Weathers, and Brick Yardley along with Bobby Swift and both of them became members in Team Kachow, the friend group after he won 2 races in a row in his rookie year being the Georgia Safety Horn 350 and the Dinoco Light 350. In 2010 he won the Transberry Juice 400. 3 wins in 2 seasons is a great start to a career. When 2011 rolled around many expected the peak of his career to happen. In 2011 he won the Georgia Safety Horn 350 again and into 2012 he had high expectations. In 2012 he won the No Stall 350. Now all the fans during the whole 2012 off-season had their eyes on Reb Meeker. A kid with no racing experience in a major series entered the 2009 Piston Cup with Tank Coat and won 5 races from 2009-2012. 2013 came and he did the breakout season that we all waited for winning the Calladega 500 and Trunk Fresh 400. Although the big 3 of McQueen, Weathers, and Swift were out during the time of these wins due to the Florida 500 crash, Meeker was still focused on 2014. 2014 was a decent season with expectations of 2-3 wins but only winning the No Stall 350. 2015 was well, 2015. The 27 different winners did not help Meeker's breakout season goal of 3 or more wins but he was one of those 27 different winners when he won the Corrosion Seal 400. In 2016 the Vinyl Toupee 400 win was Meeker's 10th and final win. In the Stock car era of the Piston Cup, if you were not McQueen, Swift, Weathers, Yardley, or Clutchen then a double digit number of wins was a great career. He never had a big breakout season and even without next gens he may never would have. He was 1 win away from tying Piston Cup champion Carl Clutchen and was only 6 from Brick Yardley. In 2020 he was elected to go into the Piston Cup Hall Of Fame along with Brick Yardley and Todd Marcus. Rich Mixon replaced Meeker after the 2017 season.
