# Chuck Barnes Jr.

Chuck Barnes Jr. (born June 1, 1982) is an American professional stock car racing driver who has previously competed in the ARCA Re/Max Series.

## Racing career

Barnes Jr. first began his racing career at the age of eleven, racing go-karts, where he went on to win several championships through the 1997 season. In 1997, he raced his ever first stock car race at Salem Speedway, finishing in seventh. He then competed in his first full season of stock car racing in 1998, finishing in the top-twenty in points at Louisville Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Sportsman Division and was the rookie of the year in the Street Stock division. In 2000, Barnes Jr. won the Salem Speedway Street Stock Championship with three feature wins, making him the youngest driver in the history of Salem Speedway to win a championship at the age of eighteen.
In 2001, Barnes Jr. made his first start in the ASA CRA Super Series, and went on to win the series championship in 2004, winning two races at Shady Bowl Speedway and Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. Late in the following year, Barnes Jr. would participate in the Race for the Ride at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
In 2006, Barnes Jr. made his debut in the ARCA Re/Max Series at Toledo Speedway, driving the No. 35 Chevrolet for TC Motorsports. After starting in sixth, Barnes Jr. went on to win the race, holding off multi-time series champion Frank Kimmel. Barnes Jr. had previously tested for Kimmel's team earlier in the year at Salem. He then attempted two more ARCA races that year, finishing fourth at Salem and failing to qualify for the inaugural race at Iowa Speedway. It was also during this year that he attempted to make his debut in the NASCAR Busch Series at Memphis International Raceway, driving the No. 07 Chevrolet for TC Motorsports, where he ultimately failed to qualify. He then attempted one more ARCA race in 2007, finishing one lap down in eighth at Salem.
After his NASCAR and ARCA career ended, Barnes Jr. has since competed in series such as the ASA Southern Super Series, the CRA JEGS All-Stars Tour, and the CRA Street Stock Series.
