Driver Profile

Brandon was born and raised in the Midwest, in a town where playing a ball sport is the expected norm. But after a friend suggested a weekend at the local go kart track, the path that Brandon's life would take was changed forever. Since 2009, Brandon has over 195 career wins and earned 14 national go kart titles. His accolades include Driver of the Month (5 times), Rookie of the Year, National Junior Driver of the year, National Sprint Driver of the Year, and ranked as the #1 Senior Driver of the Year. His championships have won him trips to represent America abroad in races in France, Brazil and Italy.

In 2017, Brandon became a Team Champion driver. And not only did he add another national title to his already impressive resume, but also began his transition into late models, finishing his rookie year tied in points for the Southeast Limited Late Model Series Championship.

Now a senior in high school, 2018 is off to a fantastic start for Brandon with a 2nd place finish in the first race of the Nasar Whelan All American Series season. Off the track, Brandon volunteers at a local healthcare clinic and helps his dad with the family swimming pool business. His aspiration to become a professional driver is closer than ever and he is proud to represent Champion Auto Parts for another season.
