Driver Bio

Brayden Benson

About Brayden

I am from a small farming town called Hardscrabble, Delaware. I'm a third-generation driver who started honing my skills on Mom-Mom's homemade track, crafted by Pop-Pop. While starting my journey racing in the backyard, I've since set my sights on the professional circuit. From this small-town upbringing, I harbor ambitions to leave a big mark in the racing world, aspiring to carve a path to NASCAR.

Career Highlights

I've had remarkable opportunities, such as being invited to the 2024 Tulsa Shootout by Christopher Bell, and previously, the Thanksgiving Classic with Sellers Racing. My ultimate goal is to reach NASCAR, whether as a driver or working in the professional racing industry; racing has been my lifelong passion and aspiration.
