Jaxon Bell is 19 years old with a thirst to go racing. He grew up watching his father, Townsend Bell, race in ten Indy 500s and multiple endurance races including the Rolex 24 and 24 Hours of Le Mans. Jaxon graduated high school in 2021 and spent the summer with his family before leaving for North Carolina where he landed a job with a NASCAR Truck Series team as an intern and mechanic. Having a passion for racing since he was a toddler, he started his racing career in the Skip Barber Racing Series. In the first part of this past December, he ran his first race in a Formula 4 car at the Circuit of the Americas where he earned a podium finish in each of his two races. His current goal is to compete next year full-time in the Skip Barber Series.
