Welcome to Aaron Bailey Racing
I am a 22 year old race car driver looking for my chance to be noticed. I have been racing for 11 years now and have won many championships in kart racing. I have been competing in sports car racing for 6 years, and have learned a lot, won many races, and set some track records. I plan on continuing to do the same in 2009.
In 2009 I will be running the IKF Grand National Go karting Championships is Redding, CA, as well as some sports car races in American Sedan and ITE.

A wild weekend at Buttonwillow Raceway park gave Aaron a 1st and a second to start off the year in American Sedan. This was Aaron’s first race of the year and it was a double national. Aaron qualified 2nd for the race on day 1, and after an exciting start full of carnaged Corvettes, Aaron found himself in 3rd place, trailing the leaders. After 3 laps, Aaron was on the bumper of the 2nd place car, disposing of him in a timely fashion. “I then put my head down and worked hard to catch the leader” said Aaron. A few laps later, the leader uffered a small misfortune that handed the lead and the victory over to Aaron.
Day two was also exciting as another contender had joined the American Sedan field. Another day of qualifying second, and after a close call in turn 1, Aaron stayed in a cool 2nd and drove the car home in one piece.
The race weekend wa a success for Aaron and the team. They would like to thank Gatorz Precision Eyewear, Carbotech Brake pads, FLUID Recovery Drink, and Bell racing for their continued support of Aaron. Also a special thanks to RLC Engineering for allowing Aaron to run their new timing system.
