Mallozzi started competing in childhood by racing go-karts at the age of nine. After winning various karting championships, he abruptly stopped racing when his father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. After spending most of his college years working in various journalism and law fields, he eventually returned to racing, citing motivation from his father. Initially joining RBR in 2021 as a development driver, he later made a one-off Truck Series start for the team the following year. He later raced in more Truck Series races in 2023 for both RBR and AM Racing.
