X-1R Pro Cup Series
Faison made one start in this series, at Orange County Speedway in 2013. Driving in the No. 6 Chevrolet and receiving funding from Little Caesars, Faison started third and finished eleventh after a crash.
K&N Pro Series East
In 2011, Faison attempted four races and made three in this series. In his first attempt, at South Boston Speedway, Faison failed to qualify in Rich Rudolph's No. 02 Chevrolet. For the next race, at Richmond International Raceway, Faison qualified 32nd and finished in that same place in what would be his last race for Rudolph. Faison returned eight races later in a family-owned team. At New Hampshire Motor Speedway, he qualified 35th but finished 34th after engine problems ended his race 45 laps in. In his final appearance of the season, again with his family-owned team, he qualified fourth at Dover International Speedway, a track only 14 miles away from his hometown. Once again, however, mechanical issues ended his day, as a broken shock relegated him to a 24th place finish. In 2012, Faison logged a career-high nine starts, all for his family-owned team. With backing from Generation Rescue and Little Caesars Pizza, he logged a pole, two top-ten finishes, and two crashes. In 2013, Faison picked up backing from Sherwin-Williams, and recorded one top five finish and one crash in six starts.
Camping World Truck Series
In 2013, Faison made his Truck debut at Dover with SS-Green Light Racing, but a crash after 61 laps ended his day. His other start in that season was at Kentucky, in SS-Green Light's No. 81 truck. He finished 19th, one lap off the pace. A deal to drive Premium Motorsports' No. 94 truck in 2015 fell through. In 2016, Faison returned to SS-Green Light Racing, piloting the No. 07 truck at Dover to a 25th place finish, 10 laps down.
Xfinity Series
Faison debuted in the Xfinity Series in 2015, driving JGL Racing's No. 26 Toyota Camry at Dover. He started 37th and finished 23rd.
