He currently competes part-time in the Super Late Models, driving the No. 36 Chevrolet SS for Dan Fredrickson Racing.
Tifft selected 36 as his racing number to honor his mentor Ken Schrader, who raced with that number in the Winston Cup Series from 2000 to 2002.
Prior to the Martinsville race, Tifft was rushed to the hospital after suffering a seizure and blacking out in the team hauler, forcing Matt Crafton to take over the No. 36 for the race.

He was coached by Kevin Harter of CRP Racing.

During this season, Tifft would win two national-level victories.

Tifft eventually underwent surgery for a low-grade glioma in his brain.
On September 12, 2016, NASCAR officials cleared Tifft to return to racing.
On November 4, 2016, it was announced that Tifft would drive full-time in JGR's No. 19 entry in 2017, competing for the Rookie of the Year.

On August 27, 2017, Tifft came within two laps of his first Xfinity Series victory at the season's annual trip to Road America.

As a result of the seizure, he missed the rest of the 2019 season as John Hunter Nemechek substituted in the No. 36 for the final three races.
On November 13, 2019, he and FRM parted ways as Tifft intended to focus on his health and could not commit to a full-time 2020 schedule.

Tifft, McLeod, and Joe Falk will use the charter full-time in 2021 while Go Fas Racing will scale down to a part-time schedule.
When the team was formed as Live Fast Motorsports, Tifft would later say in an interview that part of the reason he decided to move to team ownership was because of the uncertainty over continuing his racing career due to his health issues, and his desire to continue his involvement in the sport.
