Bryce Aron Bio
Bryce Aron (born September 30, 2003) is an American racing driver who competes in the 2025 Indy NXT season for Chip Ganassi Racing. Aron came up through the European junior single-seater ladder, building a reputation as a versatile competitor capable of winning across Formula Ford, GB3, Euroformula Open, and Formula Regional Oceania. In January 2025, he was also confirmed for a sports car debut in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship at the 24 Hours of Daytona with JDC-Miller Motorsports.
A native of Winnetka, Illinois, Aron left the United States as a teenager to pursue open-wheel racing in the United Kingdom, a path that shaped his technical development and prepared him for the American open-wheel scene. By his early twenties, he had become one of the more closely watched young American talents working through the international feeder system.
Early Life and Background
Bryce Aron was born on September 30, 2003, in Winnetka, Illinois, in the United States. Growing up near Chicago, he developed an early interest in motorsport, karting locally before eventually setting his sights on a professional open-wheel career. His progression out of karts into cars was quick, and the decision to race abroad came at a young age.
In 2020, at just sixteen years old, Aron moved to the United Kingdom to compete with Low Dempsey Racing in the BRSCC National Formula Ford Championship. The COVID-19 pandemic shortened the championship to just three rounds and seven races, but he still finished fifth in the standings and took a pole position at Brands Hatch. To make up for the limited schedule, he contested additional series including the Champion of Brands, Champion of Cadwell, and the Castle Combe Championship, winning the Champion of Cadwell outright.
Path to NASCAR
Bryce Aron’s career has been built entirely in open-wheel racing rather than stock cars, and there is no verified record of participation in NASCAR, the NASCAR Cup Series, the NASCAR Xfinity Series, or the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. His development followed a traditional European single-seater path through Formula Ford, GB3, Euroformula Open, and Formula Regional Oceania before transitioning to American open-wheel competition.
Bryce Aron Career
Early Career (2020-2021)
Aron’s first season of senior car racing in 2020 produced a fifth-place BRSCC National Formula Ford Championship finish and a victory in the Champion of Cadwell, despite a calendar cut short by the pandemic. He was also named one of three winners of the prestigious 2020 Team USA Scholarship, a program that has historically launched several prominent American drivers into international careers.
In 2021, Aron joined Carlin to race in the GB3 Championship alongside fellow young talents O’Sullivan and Mansell. His debut weekend at Brands Hatch drew praise for aggressive, confident overtaking moves, and he ended the meeting with a fourth-place finish. Beyond GB3, he reached the semi-final of the Formula Ford Festival, finished third in the final, and then produced a stunning Walter Hayes Trophy weekend. Out of 103 entrants, he finished third overall, becoming the seventh American to reach the Walter Hayes podium and the first American to record top-five finishes in both the Formula Ford Festival and the Walter Hayes Trophy Grand Final.
GB3 Championship Breakthrough (2022)
Aron switched to Hitech GP for the 2022 GB3 Championship season, where he played a role in the squad’s first GB3 teams’ championship. He scored eight top-ten finishes across the year, with five of those coming during the closing two rounds, indicating strong late-season form. He ended the campaign by out-qualifying his teammates and taking a podium finish in the second race of the finale.
Overall, his 2022 GB3 season produced three podiums and a victory, a solid return in one of Britain’s most competitive junior series. The performance cemented his reputation as a consistent front-runner and helped set up a move into the Euroformula Open Championship the following year.
Euroformula Open Championship Breakthrough (2023)
In 2023, Aron graduated to the Euroformula Open Championship with Team Motopark, and he quickly established himself as a championship contender. He took three wins and five podium finishes across the season, regularly fighting at the front of the field and showing strong pace across a variety of circuits.
A scheduling conflict with the Indy NXT series forced him to skip the final three rounds of the Euroformula Open campaign, which dropped him from title contention. Even so, he finished fourth in the overall standings, a result that underlined his raw speed and attracted the attention of American teams scouting for the next generation of IndyCar talent.
Formula Regional Oceania Championship (2024)
Aron contested the final two rounds of the 2024 Formula Regional Oceania Championship in New Zealand, contesting the series with M2 Competition. In his first weekend in a Formula Regional car, he set the fastest race lap at Euromarque Motorsports Park, an impressive marker given the steep learning curve of stepping into a new category.
He went on to win at Highlands Motorsports Park during the New Zealand Grand Prix race weekend. The victory made him the only American, and the only Indy NXT driver, to win a race in the 2024 Formula Regional Oceania Championship, adding another line to a growing international résumé.
Indy NXT Era (2024-Present)
Aron returned to the United States in 2024, joining Andretti Global for his rookie Indy NXT Championship campaign. He scored podium finishes at both WeatherTech Laguna Seca Raceway and Portland International Raceway, establishing himself as a threat on road and street courses. During the second half of the season, he outscored every Andretti teammate except series champion Louis Foster, a remarkable rookie-year benchmark.
For 2025, Aron moved to the No. 9 entry at Chip Ganassi Racing, taking over a seat that has historically produced strong results. The 2025 season is still in progress, but he has already posted a top-five finish at the Milwaukee Mile, suggesting a smooth transition to one of the deepest teams on the Indy NXT grid. In January 2025, his program expanded further with a confirmed sports car debut at the 24 Hours of Daytona, racing a Porsche 963 in the GTP class for JDC-Miller Motorsports alongside Gianmaria Bruni, Tijmen van der Helm, and Pascal Wehrlein.
Super Formula Testing (2022)
At the end of 2022, Aron took part in Super Formula tests with B-Max Racing at both Okayama and Suzuka. He was consistently inside the top five in those sessions, running as high as second fastest overall, a strong endorsement of his adaptability in high-downforce Japanese machinery.
Notable Races and Milestones
Aron’s career is studded with small-stage but historically significant moments, including his Walter Hayes Trophy podium in 2020, his GB3 victory with Hitech GP in 2022, his three Euroformula Open wins in 2023, his Highlands Motorsports Park triumph in Formula Regional Oceania, and his Laguna Seca and Portland podiums in Indy NXT. His 2025 24 Hours of Daytona GTP debut adds a new chapter, marking his first start in a top-class sports car prototype.
Bryce Aron Career Wins

He is also a multi-time podium finisher in the BRSCC National Formula Ford Championship, the GB3 Championship, the Euroformula Open, and Indy NXT.
GB3 Championship Highlights
In his 2022 GB3 campaign with Hitech GP, Aron scored a single victory along with three podiums and eight top-ten finishes. His strongest stretch came in the closing two rounds, where he logged five of his top-ten results and ended the year with a podium at the finale.
Other Wins and Performances
Beyond his main campaigns, Aron won the 2020 Champion of Cadwell, finished fifth in the shortened BRSCC National Formula Ford Championship, won a Euroformula Open race three times in 2023, and added a single Formula Regional Oceania win at Highlands Motorsports Park in 2024. He also finished on the podium at the 2020 Walter Hayes Trophy Grand Final, becoming the first American to record top-five finishes in both that event and the Formula Ford Festival.
2025 Season Performance
The 2025 season finds Bryce Aron entering his second Indy NXT campaign, this time with Chip Ganassi Racing in the No. 9 car. The move pairs him with one of the most successful teams in the paddock and gives him access to a deep engineering group, all of which should help him convert raw speed into consistent results. The 2025 season is still in progress.
Early in the year, Aron posted a top-five finish at the Milwaukee Mile, an encouraging sign that he has adapted quickly to his new surroundings. His 2024 form with Andretti Global, which included podiums at Laguna Seca and Portland, suggests that road and street courses will continue to be a strength. With the season unfolding, his main goal will be regular top-five pace, race wins, and a strong run at the Indy NXT championship.
Outside of Indy NXT, Aron is also contesting the 24 Hours of Daytona in the GTP class with JDC-Miller Motorsports, sharing a Porsche 963 with Gianmaria Bruni, Tijmen van der Helm, and Pascal Wehrlein. The Daytona outing gives him valuable endurance racing mileage and adds a sports car dimension to what has, until now, been a pure open-wheel résumé.
