Born in Vienna, Virginia, Lucas began karting at the age of 3. He quickly impressed, winning his first official karting race in 2020 and has gone on to outperform his peers throughout the championships he has entered. Notably, he entered the Mini Swift series in 2022 on an age waiver, achieving multiple podiums and wins despite being younger than his competitors. Lucas then went on to win the championship the following year, as well as the USPKS Mini Swift, Star Championship Series Swift Stars, and SKUSA Pro Tour Mini Swift.
