Bryce Aron (born September 30, 2003) is an American racing driver who competes in the 2025 Indy NXT for Chip Ganassi Racing.
Aron achieved three wins and five podiums in the 2023 Euroformula Open Championship with Motopark Academy, finishing fourth overall largely as a result of forgoing the final three races.[1] He was also a race winner in the 2024 Formula Regional Oceania Championship with M2 Competition and the 2022 GB3 Championship with Hitech GP, as well as the first American to record top-5 finishes in the Walter Hayes Trophy Grand Final.[2]
Aron bears no relation to brothers Ralf and Paul Aron.
In 2020, Aron moved to the UK to compete with Low Dempsey Racing in the BRSCC National Formula Ford Championship. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the championship was shortened to just three rounds and seven races and Aron finished fifth in the standings, having won pole position in the penultimate round at Brands Hatch. In order to supplement the shortened race calendar, Low Dempsey Racing participated in a variety of additional series including the Champion of Brands, Champion of Cadwell and the majority of the Castle Combe Championship. Aron won the Champion of Cadwell.[3]
Aron was one of three winners of the highly coveted 2020 Team USA Scholarship. At the Formula Ford Festival Aron finished third in the semi-final. In the final, Aron “ran strongly in third place until being elbowed down to fifth following a late-race Safety Car interruption.”[4] Aron then went on to the Walter Hayes Trophy, where out of 103 drivers he finished on the podium in third place,[5] having been the 7th American to finish on the Walter Hayes Podium. Aron made history as the first American to finish with a top-five and a podium in the two end of year iconic events.[6]
Aron joined Carlin for 2021,[7] progressing to the GB3 Championship alongside teammates O’Sullivan and Mansell. Aron had what was hailed as a stunning debut at Brands Hatch where he made bold moves to end the race weekend with a fourth place finish.[8]
In 2022, Aron joined Hitech GP where he contributed to their first GB3 championship team's win.[9] Aron scored eight top-ten finishes, five of which came during the last two rounds. Aron ended the season by out-qualifying his teammates and then scoring a podium finish in race 2.[10] Aron scored 3 podiums and a win in the 2022 championship.[11]
At the end of 2022, Aron partook in Super Formula tests with B-Max Racing at Okayama[12] and Suzuka.[13] Aron was consistently in the top-five and as high as second fastest in the sessions in which he participated.[14]
Aron moved to the Euroformula Open in 2023, with Team Motopark.[15] A championship contender for much of the season,[16][17] Aron missed the last three races due to a conflict with Indy NXT,[18] finishing fourth overall with three wins and five podiums.
Aron competed in the final two rounds of the 2024 Formula Regional Oceania Championship. Aron won at the Highlands Motorsports Park, during the New Zealand Grand Prix race weekend. In his first weekend in the Formula Regional car, Aron scored fastest race lap at Euromarque Motorsports Park. Aron was the only American and the only Indy NXT driver to score a win in the 2024 Formula Regional Oceania Championship.[19]
Aron moved to America, joining Andretti Global to race in the 2024 Indy NXT Championship.[20] Aron scored podium finishes at both WeatherTech Laguna Seca Raceway[21] and Portland International Raceway.[22] During the second half of the season, Aron outscored his Andretti teammates with the exception of series champion Louis Foster.[23]
Aron moved to HMD Motorsports for his second season of Indy NXT in 2025.[24] Following the opening round of the season at St. Petersburg, it was announced that Aron would make a mid-season switch and move to Chip Ganassi Racing.[25] He would drive the No. 9 car following Jonathan Browne's vacancy from the seat.
In January 2025, it was announced that Aron would be making his sports car racing debut in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship for the 24 Hours of Daytona, racing in the GTP class, with JDC-Miller Motorsports in the Porsche 963 Hypercar, alongside teammates Gianmaria Bruni, Tijmen van der Helm, and Pascal Wehrlein.[26]
