However, it was not always a bed of roses now for Matt. He suffered from brain cancer back in 2019. He underwent brain surgery to remove the tumor in his right frontal lobe. This also resulted in him being sidelined from driving, with the probability of jeopardizing his NASCAR career. 

But Matt faced adversity like the warrior he is. He slowly recuperated with proper measures. The Front Row Motorsports driver eventually bounced back to the racing world. Although he is yet to turn the wheels of his car. Nevertheless, he was featured in the Forbes 30 under 30 Sports list of 2022. And is also the youngest person in NASCAR to own a team. Matt co-owns it with his fellow driver friend, BJ McLeod and Joe Falk.
