ABOUT AARON
Third-generation drag racer Aaron Stanfield is one of the most versatile drivers in all of NHRA drag racing. Son of five-time NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series world champion Greg Stanfield, Aaron rarely competes in just one class in a race weekend. He’s has handled driving duties for Super Stock, Stock Eliminator, Top Dragster, Factory Stock, Pro Stock and in 2024 he’ll add Factory X to his resume.
Aaron Stanfield joined the Pro Stock professional drag racing ranks in 2014, competing in a handful of races until 2015. He reemerged in Pro Stock for the 2019 Countdown to the Championship, NHRA’s six race playoffs, before taking on a full-time Pro Stock schedule in 2020 and breaking through for his first professional victory. He’d finish the 2020 season seventh in the points standings.
Stanfield would improve to three wins in 2021 and in 2022, the year he joined Elite Motorsports, would have three victories and four No. 1 qualifying positions to finish third in the championship points standings, a career best year for the standout competitor. In 2023, Stanfield had one win in two final round appearances with a fourth place points finish.
Stanfield has three NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Division 4 championships to his name and while handling his Pro Stock ride, raced his way to three Factory Stock Showdown world championships in 2020, 2021 and 2023.
One of the most memorable moments of Stanfield’s career occurred in 2020 at the NHRA SpringNationals at Houston Raceway Park where he not only won his first professional Pro Stock event but doubled up for a win in Factory Stock Show Down to clinch the world championship.
