Racing career

Holmes began racing when he ran in go-kart events starting at age 8 and for four years in total, earning 60 wins altogether during that time. After that, he competed in racing series on both dirt and asphalt, which included winning the championship in the Crate Late Model Division. He later raced in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.[1]

Holmes began racing in ARCA in 2016, intending to compete in the season opener at Daytona for Empire Racing in the No. 18 Ford, but he withdrew for unknown reasons. He had previously driven with them in ARCA's preseason testing at the track in January.[2]

Personal life

Holmes was studying building science at Auburn University in addition to racing in ARCA in 2017.[1]

He lives in Munford, Alabama. Bret's father, Stacy Holmes, also is a former racing driver, where he often competed at the Talladega Short Track, where he held the track record until Bret himself broke it in 2013.[1]
