He ran the 2001 season in the Limited Sportsman division at Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, North Carolina. He competed at South Boston Speedway in Virginia as a rookie in 2002, winning Rookie of the Year honors in the Late Model Stock Car division.

In 2008, Sellers signed on with Andy Santerre Motorsports in the No. 44 Chevrolet. Sellers took the pole and the win at the season opener at Greenville-Pickens Speedway, in Greenville, SC. The victory was short-lived due to a rules infraction. Sellers was stripped of his win and given a 30th-place finish.Newton, David. Should postrace disqualification set precedence for NASCAR's top series?. ESPN.com, Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, April 24, 2008. At Iowa, in the closing laps, Sellers took second from Austin Dillon before a caution but he was placed back into fourth place on the restart (the position he was in on the restart after the previous yellow) because the NASCAR officials determined that a full lap had not been run since Sellers was in fourth and he never had the chance to challenge Brian Ickler for the lead. In the season finale at Stafford, Sellers finally win his first race. He finished the season eighth overall points standings, with a series high three poles. Peyton again came close to taking the win at the Toyota All-Star Showdown, with Jig-A-Loo as his sponsor, when a last lap spin out, while in the lead, made him finish 14th.

Sellers is part owner of Cardinal Motorsports, alongside Will Spencer of JKS Motorsports and Ed Berrier. In January, Cardinal Motorsports announced a ten race NASCAR Nationwide sponsorship with SFP.

Sellers was suspended from NASCAR competition on October 25, 2011, as a result of an altercation following a race at South Boston Speedway until March 1, 2012.

For 2015, Sellers planned to race in the NASCAR Xfinity Series full-time, taking over the No. 97 for Obaika Racing after Josh Reaume was released from the team after three race weekends, but was released from the team after Watkins Glen due to mediocre results.

After leaving NASCAR competition as a driver, Sellers he co-owned NASCAR K&N Pro Series East team Hunt-Sellers Racing with former KNPSE competitor Sam Hunt. However the partnership ended in 2018. Sam Hunt renamed his team to Sam Hunt Racing and moved to Xfinity Series.
