Racing career

Bainey began his racing career at Clearfield Speedway in Pennsylvania in 1988, winning the track championship in 1995.[1] Following competing on a limited schedule in the ARCA Re/MAX Series between 1997 and 2000, Bainey raced for a number of years in the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series, competing in the series' North Division;[2] he posted one top 5 finish and a best national points finish of 21st over 8 years and 78 races of competition,[3] while he finished in the top 10 in North Division points three times during his Pro Cup career.[4] Bainey also competed in late model races across southern New England during the early to mid 2000s.[5]

Bainey made his debut in NASCAR competition in the Busch North Series at Holland International Speedway in 2005, finishing 17th in his first race in the series.[6] He made his debut in the Camping World Truck Series at Dover International Speedway in 2009,[4] finishing 15th, his best career finish in the series, and on the lead lap in his first race; he also led a lap during the event.[7] He would make 7 additional starts in the series over the next two years, with his last start coming in September 2010 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in a truck owned by Dale Brackett.[8]

After over a year's hiatus from racing,[9] Bainey returned to NASCAR competition in 2012, driving for SR² Motorsports at Dover in the Nationwide Series 5-hour Energy 200.[7] He started 41st, was wrecked by race leader Joey Logano after 144 laps of competition, and finished 28th.[10]
