K&N Pro Series East

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.^[3]

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.^[4]

2013 led to Gdovic's first win, at Greensville-Pickens.
