Vaughn’s path into racing didn’t start with a professional team or a family legacy—it started under a tent, with a father and son learning everything from scratch. Based in Indiana, Vaughn had a love for speed and competition, but had no background in motorsports. What he did have was determination, curiosity, and a willingness to get his hands dirty.

In early 2022, Vaughn took a leap into the world of karting. With no crew and no sponsors, he and his dad became their own mechanics, turning every bolt, setup, and adjustment themselves. Every race weekend was a new challenge, but also a new chance to grow. And Vaughn quickly proved he had something special behind the wheel.

Despite going up against top national teams with years of experience, Vaughn made a name for himself with a string of impressive performances and podium finishes. His natural driving instincts, combined with the hard-earned mechanical knowledge he and his dad built together, set him apart.

Now, as Vaughn prepares to transition from karting to race cars, he carries with him not just skill and experience—but the story of a grassroots journey fueled by passion, resilience, and the bond between a father helping his son chase a dream.
