21 year old Bailey is competing in the 2024 Repco Supercars Dunlop Series at the wheel of the Image Racing Commodore.
Following a highly successful karting career which saw him compete in the Australian All Star Series and claim the South Pacific title, Bailey’s innate talent led to him being selected as a driver with the Bathurst 1000 race winning Virgin Australia Supercars team, Erebus Motorsport, as part of their driver Academy.
Running on the same venues as the Virgin Australia Supercars series, he takes on both Australia’s hottest young talent and Australian motorsport legends competing at the country’s toughest race tracks, including the legendary Mount Panorama as part of the Bathurt 1000 event in October.
An exciting year is planned and with national TV and media coverage assured, there are outstanding partnership opportunities for you to come on board and support one of Australia’s hottest young motor racing talents.
“I have been in my race car attending numerous tracks so I can rack up the laps and be competitive for my team and do my sponsors proud.
I understand you have to represent your brand in a positive manner on and off track and be a role model at all times”.
BAILEY SWEENY
“ I began by racing Go Karts for 4 years and started at club level, then progressed to the Australian Karting Championships.
I got the opportunity to participate in the first Karts to Cars programme with Erebus which lead to the next step of my racing career.
Erebus Academy launched their Toyota 86 tryouts which were held at Norwell Motorplex on the Gold Coast.
I was fortunate enough to be selected as part of the 2020 Academy.
My love for racing comes from the competitiveness and the adrenaline rush you get from racing.
My future goal is to progress to Supercars as this has been my dream & passion for many years, as a live & breath motorsport.
Mark Webber and Daniel Ricardo are the two guys I look up to, due to what they have achieved representing Australia and the way they conduct themselves on and off the track,
We would like to thank our Major partners for believing in me and hopefully I do you all proud and promote your businesses with maximum exposure and that you enjoy the ride as much as me” -
