MacDonald first ran in the Busch East Series in 2001, finishing 19th in points, and claimed his first series win the following season at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway. After going winless in 2003 and 2004, MacDonald won at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park; two years later, he would win at Stafford Speedway, and in 2008, won both races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. In 2009, he won at Loudon again,[1] finishing second in the championship to Ryan Truex.[2] During the season, MacDonald won the Oxford 250 late model race at Oxford Plains Speedway; after electing to replace four tires on a pit stop with the threat of being lapped,[3] MacDonald passed Brian Hoar on lap 167 to win.[4] In 2014, MacDonald won his first Pro Series East race in five seasons and his seventh series win at Bristol Motor Speedway after holding off Gray Gaulding and Ben Rhodes on the green–white–checker finish.[5]

In 2005, MacDonald made his debut in the Whelen Modified Tour at Loudon, finishing 37th.[6] He returned to the Modifieds in 2009 at Loudon, replacing Andy Seuss, who was racing at Caraway Speedway in the Whelen Southern Modified Tour.[7]

MacDonald ran and won the inaugural American Canadian Tour invitational race at Loudon in 2009, and repeated in 2011.[8] In 2014, MacDonald won the ACT season-opener at Lee USA Speedway.[9]

MacDonald is the last active K&N East driver to have competed when the series was running under the Busch North name.

National series

In 2010, MacDonald made his Camping World Truck Series debut in the TheRaceDayRaffleSeries.com 175 at Loudon[10] for Grimm Racing, finishing 30th after crashing on lap 86.[11] In early 2014, Blue Vase Marketing owner Michael Alden requested Go FAS Racing owner Archie St. Hilaire to place a New England-based driver in the No. 32 car for the Camping World RV Sales 301 at Loudon, with the team hiring MacDonald, making MacDonald the only active driver to race in all five NASCAR touring series at the track (K&N East, Modified, and the three national series), and the first since Steve Park in 1996. To support MacDonald, the track offered an "Eddie Mac Pack" ticket package worth $32.[12] In his first Cup race, MacDonald started 40th and finished 35th, five laps down.[13] MacDonald again ran the July Loudon Cup race in 2015, finishing 37th, six laps behind the leaders.

MacDonald's parents Red and Judy own Lee USA Speedway in New Hampshire.[9]
