Cameron Hayley kicks off his 2013 season by winning in Daytona at UNOH’s Battle at the Beach in February. Although, some fans first learned of his skill at that event, NASCAR knew of Cameron Hayley well before this season began, naming him as one of their prestigious ‘Next Nine’ drivers to watch.
From Calgary, AB. Canada, Cameron Hayley’s love for racing began at seven years of age competing in go-karts. He progressed through the ranks, racing Baby Grands, Legends race cars and eventually late models.
Hayley’s début in NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series West in Montana August 13, 2011, also gave him the distinction of being their youngest driver at 15 years 23 days. But what really caught everyone’s attention that day, was that Hayley finished second in his début race. With only four series’ races for the 2011 season, Hayley finished in the top-five in two of those events.
Throughout the 2011 season, Cameron Hayley continued to capture the attention of fans by winning the championship in Dakota Dunes Late Model Series at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada; while also finishing second in points that season in late-model series at Montana Raceway Park in Kalispell, Mont.; and winning rookie title at both tracks.
In the 2012 season, Hayley ran 15 races in NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series West finishing seventh in points with five top-fives and nine top-tens, earning him the Rookie of the Year title.
Now, Cameron Hayley and his #24 Ford Fusion team sponsored by Cabinets by Hayley, sit second in the K&N Pro Series West point standings only five points away from series’ veteran and points leader, Greg Pursley. Fans can see the next race of this amazing ‘NASCAR Next Nine’ driver this weekend, May 4th in the NKNPS West Stockton at Stockton 99 Speedway in Stockton, CA.
