A native of The Acreage, Florida, Choquette began his racing career at age 8 in kart racing; he moved to stock car racing at age 11, and in 2004 he won the Florida Governor's Cup 200 at New Smyrna Speedway,[2] becoming the youngest winner ever of the event. Choquette also played baseball in high school but chose to concentrate on a racing career.[1]

In 2005, Choquette participated in Roush Fenway Racing's Roush Racing: Driver X reality show, competing for a Truck Series ride with the team.[1] The youngest of 25 drivers in the competition, he failed to make the cut.[3] In 2007, competing in the ASA Late Model Series, Choquette won the South Division championship.[4] In 2009 he won the World Crown 300 at Gresham Motorsports Park,[5] but was disqualified after his car failed post-race inspection.[6]

Choquette currently competes in the ASA Midwest Tour; he scored his first win in the series in 2011 at Iowa Speedway.[7] In 2012 he made his Camping World Truck Series debut at Iowa Speedway in July, driving the No. 97 Chevrolet for the Adrian Carriers Racing Team;[8] he drove to 11th place in his first event in the series.[1] Choquette also drove for the team in the ARCA Racing Series at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in August, finishing 25th in his debut race,[9] before returning to the Camping World Truck Series in its second race of the year at Iowa Speedway in September,[10] finishing 8th in the event; Choquette would race once more in the series in 2012, at Phoenix International Raceway, finishing 30th after an accident.[11]
