Matt kicked off his 2019 season at the Wild West Shootout at the Arizona Speedway in Queen Creek, AZ. He piloted a Lance Schill X-Mod on the opening night and after running second in his heat race, he battled with Schill and Cole Searing for the lead in the feature, eventually coming home a solid second.

Sunday's show rained out, and Wednesday night, Matt jumped behind the wheel of a Schill Construction Motorsports Modified for the event. Matt ran third in his heat and then raced to a very solid third place in the night's main event as well. Then, on Saturday night, Matt climbed behind the wheel of a Brandon George owned X-Mod and ran third in his heat, fourth in the b-main and came home 20th in the main event to wrap up his week in the desert.
