Fultz first raced in the
NASCAR Southeast Series
in 1996, driving in fourteen of the twenty-three races on the schedule with a win at
Caraway Speedway
in
Asheboro, North Carolina
, and finished 17th in points. For next year, he would run the full schedule and finish second in the point standings behind
Hal Goodson
, with one win at
St. Augustine Speedway
. Fultz would spit his schedule the following year driving in the Southeast Series, winning two poles and a best finish of third at
Louisville Motor Speedway
in just ten starts, and in the
ASA National Tour
, running the first ten races on the schedule with a top-10 finish at
Tri-County Motor Speedway
with a seventh place finish.
Fultz would solely focus on the Southeast Series for the next two seasons, finishing 5th in the points in 1999, an 2nd behind
Billy Bigley
in 2000. It was in the latter year that Fultz would make his ARCA debut, running both
Charlotte
races with a best finish of 13th in his first start. For 2001, he would finish third in the Southeast Series standings with four wins and two poles. Fultz also made his
NASCAR Busch Series
debut at
North Carolina Speedway
driving the No. 86
Chevrolet
for
Jimmy Craig
, finishing 39th due to an engine problem. He would also attempt to make his
Winston Cup Series
at
Charlotte
for the
Coca-Cola 600
driving for Gene DeHart and Mike Clark, ultimately failing to qualify.
In 2002, Fultz would win his first Southeast Series title with three wins at
Myrtle Beach
,
Nashville
and
Memphis
. He would also win his first ARCA race that year at
Charlotte
, as well as making three Busch Series races that year with a best finish of 26th at Nashville. Although Fultz would win the most races in the Southeast season in 2003, he would ultimately finish second in the standings behind
Charlie Bradberry
. He would run four races in the ARCA Series, three races in the Busch Series, and would attempt two Winston Cup races, failing to qualify at both
Atlanta
and
Charlotte
.
Fultz would win the Southeast championship again in 2004 ahead of
J. R. Norris
with five wins and two poles. He attempted again to make his debut in the now
Nextel Cup Series
at
Charlotte
for the
Coca-Cola 600
, driving the No. 78
Ford
for
Harrah Racing
, failing to qualify for the event. In 2005, he would win the Southeast championship again ahead of
Jason Hogan
with four wins. He would run one more race in the series the following year before the series folded at the end of the year. He also ran in the
Hooters Pro Cup Series
that year, running in 14 races with a pole at
Lakeland
and a best finish of fifth at Myrtle Beach.
Since the folding of the Southeast Series, he would compete sporadically in various late-model events like the
