Career Highlights
Mason Bailey is a Virginia-based competitor building his CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car career from the ground up. The 30-year-old from Richmond drives the No. 05 Chevrolet for Alpha Sports in what is still a relatively young touring career that began in 2023.
Bailey came to the CARS Tour through the Virginia short-track pipeline, competing in the Virginia Late Model Triple Crown Series, the I-95 Showdown Series, and the NASCAR Weekly Series before stepping up to the touring level. He is a High Point University alumnus who brings both education and racing ambition to the paddock.
Through 10 career CARS Tour LMSC starts, Bailey has shown steady improvement. He earned his first career pole position at Wake County Speedway during the 2024 season — a milestone for a driver still establishing himself against one of the most competitive Late Model Stock fields in the country.
Bailey's Virginia roots and his presence on the CARS Tour grid represent the pathway that many Southeast short-track drivers follow: years of weekly racing building toward a touring-level career. His 2026 season with Alpha Sports continues that progression.
