Driver Information
Brayden has been in love with anything with a motor since before he could talk. His grandfather was a motor-head with a '40 Ford Sedan and '69 Boss Mustang in the garage. And if you couldn't find Brayden you know you could find him behind the wheel of a parked car somewhere. We know Grandpa is watching every weekend.
Bray saw the Bandeleros racing at Elko Speedway when he was 6 years old and from that day he begged his dad to let him race.
In the spring of 2021, Bray and his dad were walking through the pits at Cedar Lake Speedway talking to drivers when a young driver named Pat Kelly asked Brayden if he ever wanted to race. Brayden's face lit up and said he yes. Pat told us about the 1/4 midget program in the arena and told us to ask other drivers about it. Four weeks later, Brayden had a Honda 120 and was officially a Red Rookie racing at the arena at Cedar Lake Speedway with the St. Croix Valley Qtr Midget Assoc.
Three weeks into racing, Brayden swept the day as a Red Rookie and due to his age moved up to Sr. Honda.
He now is running Lt 160 and Sr. Animal. He officially won his first feature race on 5/21/22.
