LaCrosse has been his home track throughout his career, and Carlson won titles there in various forms of competition during the 1978, 1979, 1982, 1984, 2007, and 2008 seasons In the Midwest Series, Carlson won 67 times, a record that fell just one short of legendary Dick Trickle's. But his consistency is awe-striking. For a period of sixteen years (1990-2005), Carlson never finished outside of the top-two in points, recording nine series titles and seven runner-up finishes. Currently, Carlson has moved onto the ASA Midwest Tour, the successor of the defunct NASCAR/ARTGO tour. In the three years of competition, Carlson has won seven times and finished 1st in the 2009 final standings, his first full-time season on the tour. He is the only driver to win championships in ARTGO, NASCAR Midwest, and ASA Midwest..
