In early 2014, Michael Alden, the owner of Blue Vase Marketing, a sponsor for Cup Series team Go FAS Racing, requested to Go FAS owner Archie St. Hilaire, another New Englander, to put a driver from New England in their No. 32 car for the Camping World RV Sales 301 at Loudon, which led to the team picking MacDonald. This made MacDonald the only active driver at the time 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 (matching his car number). In his first Cup race, MacDonald started 40th and finished 35th, five laps down. MacDonald also ran the July Cup races at Loudon in 2015 and 2016.
