Aaron Turkey

Aaron Turkey is #68 on GSR in the 360 class and is Glenn’s 1st cousin. His Grandfather, Frankie Turkey, died at just 27 years old in a car accident, but before his death was the person responsible for introducing Glenn to the world of racing. Aaron raced in the Crate Sprint series since 2014 with 7 career wins. Although favoured for the championship in the crate division in 2019, Glenn chose to promote Aaron to the 360 class, gifting him with his old sprint car. So rather than go into 2019 on the hunt for a championship, he entered as a rookie in a tougher class, and it was nothing short of tough. Aaron and his team had a lot of challenges in the shop, in the pits and on the oval. Aaron crashed a few cars, costing Glenn tens of thousands in repairs and replacements and his team seemed to struggle with the car all year. Halfway through the season, Glenn discovered that Aaron was setting up his car all wrong and he was disappointed that Aaron wasn’t spending more time in the shop or in the gym. Aaron was also working away from home so he had to be away each week and show up just in time for racing, putting his whole team at a disadvantage. Aaron did manage his first 360 win at Merrittville Speedway during a very truncated pandemic racing season in 2020.

He also has a son who arrived to him and girlfriend Madison in October 2020 and welcomed their second son in October 2021. In 2022, Aaron finished his season on a career high after placing 7th on the Ohsweken Speedway leaderboard  and a best feature finish of second place.  With his two best crew members, Wes & Riley by his side, Aaron returns to the track with some high hopes for the 2023 race season. But after one bad race, Aaron is forced to sit out and has arguably his worst season yet in the 360 class.
