Biography

A veteran Class 1 desert racer from Riverside, California, Bailey has established himself as a consistent podium contender in SCORE's most prestigious events. His career reached new heights with back-to-back second-place class finishes at the legendary SCORE Baja 1000 in both 2018 and 2019, demonstrating elite-level competitiveness against the world's top desert racing talent.

Bailey's racing pedigree runs deep, with extensive competition experience across SCORE's premier events including the Baja 500, where he competed in the demanding 542-mile course aboard his Alumi Craft-Chevy. His technical expertise and strategic racing approach have made him a formidable competitor in the unlimited open-wheel Class 1 division, one of desert racing's most challenging categories.

Throughout his career, Bailey has consistently attracted top-tier co-drivers, reflecting the respect he commands within the racing community. His ability to navigate the brutal Baja Peninsula terrain while maintaining competitive pace has earned him recognition among SCORE's most accomplished drivers. With multiple podium finishes at the Baja 1000 – widely considered the world's most grueling desert race – Bailey continues to represent the pinnacle of American off-road racing excellence.
