Quin Houff (born September 15, 1997) is an American professional driver. He currently competes part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 46 Chevrolet Camaro for Precision Performance Motorsports, and part-time in the ARCA Racing Series, driving the No. 98 Chevrolet Impala for Mason Mitchell Motorsports.
Houff started to race when he was eight, driving go-karts. A year later, he upgraded to Mini-Cup cars and by age thirteen, he was racing Limited Late Model cars at local tracks. During his formative years, Houff often competed at legendary short track South Boston Speedway.
Houff ran the entire 2015 CARS Super Late Model Series schedule in 2015 at age seventeen. He won one race, in Hudson, North Carolina, recorded four more top fives and finished fourth in points. On the strength of that season, Houff was named to the 2016 Kulwicki Driver Development program. He won the 2016 CARS season opener, but ran only the first seven races, a move he made after consulting with a stratgety team. He also ran the 2016 All American 400 for David Gilliland. Houff returned to the series on a limited basis in 2017.
Houff teamed up with Mason Mitchell and his team to run the opening race of the 2017 ARCA Racing Series after a test at Daytona International Speedway.After leading laps and earning an award for leading at halfway, he was caught up in a wreck.
On March 21, 2017, it was announced that Houff would drive two NASCAR Xfinity Series races for Precision Performance Motorsports, at Bristol Motor Speedway and Richmond International Raceway. At Bristol, Houff hovered around the top ten most of the day after a strong qualifying run but damage due to an incident with Ross Chastain dropped him to fifteenth. After the race at Richmond, Houff signed on for two more races with the team, at Iowa Speedway and Kentucky Speedway.
