Gdovic first tried his hand at K&N Pro Series East competition in 2011, running 11 of the series 14 races. Running for his father and with funding from Aquis Communication, he scored one top five finish (New Hampshire) and three other top tens on the way to a 15th place points finish. Gdovic failed to finish only two races.

In 2012, Gdovic ran the entire season, recorded a career-best third place finish at Greenville-Pickens Speedway, other top fives at Richmond International Raceway, Langley Speedway, and Greensville-Pickens, and recorded top-tens in all but five races. With only one crash on the season, he finished seventh in season points.

2013 led to Gdovic's first win, at Greensville-Pickens. He also recorded a second at Richmond and a third at Bowman Gray Stadium, but three engine failures in a fourteen race season dropped Gdovic to tenth in series points. The team scaled back to part-time in 2014, with only one top ten finish and three crashes in eight races. While focusing on the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series in 2015, Gdovic made only one start, a 12th at Virginia International Raceway. Moving up to the Xfinity Series in 2016, Gdovic made a start while sharing his family ride with other drivers. He finished 16th at Mobile International Speedway.

Early years

Gdovic made his Xfinity Series debut in the O'Reilly Auto Parts 300 at Texas Motor Speedway on April 10, 2015, in the No. 55 Chevrolet Camaro for Viva Motorsports. He qualified 29th and finished 26th, four laps down. Gdovic would make two more starts in 2015 one for Viva Motorsports, at Richmond International Raceway, in which he finished 30th, and one for Precision Performance Motorsports who purchased Viva Motorsports equipment, at Watkins Glen International, where he finished 13th.

On April 16, 2016, Gdovic made his first Xfinity start of the year in the first-ever Xfinity heat/main event, the Fitzgerald Glider Kits 300 at Bristol. He finished 14th in his heat and 18th in the main. Later that year, Gdovic announced that he and Precision Performance Motorsports's No. 46 team will contest the full 2017 Xfinity Series schedule and contend for the Rookie of the Year award. He attempted four more races during the course of the season, finishing 21st twice and bringing sponsorship from Verizon Wireless.

2017

Gdovic will run full-time in the No. 46 Precision Performance Motorsports Chevrolet, a ride he shared part-time in 2016 with Anthony Kumpen and Jordan Anderson.
