Racing career

Goulet first had an interest in racing after attending the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races at the Milwaukee Mile, and would race late models in various local dirt-tracks. He would go on to school to become an industrial mechanic, and would later move himself and his family to North Carolina, where he would be employed with Mike Harmon Racing as a pit crew member, a car chief, and later on, would go on to be a crew chief for the team. He would then go on to work for various teams like MBM Motorsports and Jesse Iwuji Motorsports, before forming his own team in 2022 with fellow driver Rita Thomason.^[1] The team would make their debut at the ARCA Menards Series race at Milwaukee with Thomason driving the No. 31 Chevrolet, where she would go on to finish 25th due to engine issues.^[2]

In 2023, Goulet would make his ARCA Menards Series debut at Berlin Raceway, driving the No. 31 Chevrolet for his own team, Rise Motorsports, where he would finish in twelfth position, albeit multiple laps down.^[3]

Personal life

Goulet is currently married to fellow driver Rita Goulet (formerly Rita Thomason), who also competes part-time in ARCA, whom he first met in early 2022. They eventually married on January 1, 2023.^[4][5] They also have a son from a previous marriage of Tim's.^[6]
