After competing for several years in sprints, Sellers decided to try his hand in stock car racing on asphalt ovals. He ran the 2001 season in the Limited Sportsman division at Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, North Carolina.[1] He competed at South Boston Speedway in Virginia as a rookie in 2002, winning Rookie of the Year honors in the Late Model Stock Car division.
In 2005, Sellers won 14 of his 16 starts at South Boston, winning the Dodge Weekly Series national championship.[1]
