Aidan Yoder Racing

Last but certainly not least, I wanted to dedicate a post to my love .

While we both got our degrees from different institutions, the fact that we both entered and exited college together is a testament to how much we love and respect each other.

Simply put, I would not be where I am today without you. Thank you for always being there for me no matter what, uplifting me through the good and bad days, and for never failing to put a smile on my face (usually in the form of an ultra specific inside joke).

I love you so much!

I wanted to dedicate a post to my grad cap, because I feel like it deserves its own moment.

I wanted my cap to be racing themed (go figure), but with a focus on where and what I raced while in college. Some of my biggest personal and professional achievements came during my time at CSUF, and I wanted to proudly display that all at graduation.

Gridded up in chronological order on my grad cap, the cars I drove in college were:
- Porsche 981 Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR
- Lamborghini Super Trofeo EVO2
- Toyota GR86

And of course, leading the pack is my childhood idol since age 3, Lightning McQueen. “Cars” is where it all started, and the story is a good one. But that’s for another day 😉

The top of the cap showcases some pictures highlighting those moments; a podium at the Nashville Music City Grand Prix on my street circuit debut, celebrating my first national championship at COTA with my love , and winning the first ever 24 Hour race at .

I’m proud of what I achieved, and I feel so grateful to have been a part of such elite race teams during my journey. , , and , thank you again for all that you’ve done for me, particularly in your support and advocacy of me as a college student. I’ll never, ever forget these moments.

Aidan Yoder, B.A.

I’m incredibly proud to have officially completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration at ! For a couple weeks now, I’ve been reflecting on my past 4 years in college, and it still hasn’t sunk in. I really am a college graduate.

Earning your Bachelor’s isn’t an easy feat for anyone. For me, the difficulty arose in balancing a full-time racing career and meeting the deadlines that come with being a full-time student. I vividly remember when my laptop couldn’t connect to the in-plane WiFi on a flight to New York, and I had to edit a presentation slideshow on my phone. I vividly remember completing balance sheets for my financial accounting class at 12 AM after a long day at the track the week of Lamborghini World Finals in Portugal. And I vividly remember, for 3 years, having a race the week of or before finals week, and splitting my time between studying and pounding laps on the simulator. Long story short, while traveling the world to drive race cars has been a lifelong dream of mine, living this double life wasn’t easy by any means.

Admittedly, I do hold myself to a very high standard. Graduating Cum Laude was a goal I set for myself in my freshman year.

Was Cum Laude necessary to be awarded my degree? Absolutely not. Is it something written on my degree that I can look back on with immense pride, telling myself “I did that” as I reminisce? Hell yes, it is.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank all the people that got me here, because this was a team effort in every sense of the phrase. To CSUF, my professors, faculty, co-workers, friends, and family, I’m eternally grateful for all you’ve done. Whether it be physical or mental support, you never failed to pick me up when I needed it most; I could not have done it without you. I feel so grateful to have found my people, and be leaving college with lifelong friends and memories.

The celebrations have already begun, and there will be many more throughout the summer! I’m gonna enjoy not having to submit a homework assignment ever again!

Cum Laude - Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration, Joint Concentration in Marketing and Information Systems.

There’s been lots of talk about a certain section of corners over the past few days… let’s just say: sometimes, you don’t know how good you’ve got it until it’s gone.

Here’s a little throwback to my time in the Bus Stop with the crew. I’ll never forget what it was like running for the first time!

Good luck to all my friends and colleagues in the this weekend, I’ll be tuning in from home!!

Highlight of the 2024 season: capping off the season with my family at . There aren’t many better places to end your year, and coming away with our best result of the year felt like the perfect stamp on a memorable year. I feel very thankful for the opportunities that PRLA has provided me over the last couple years, and it was rewarding to leave the track with smiles on all our faces.

Oh, and racing with Keanu Reeves and Cody Jones wasn’t too shabby either 😉

Here’s to 2025- a brand new year with more memories to be made!

I had an absolute blast last night attending a live recording of the podcast! The energy these guys bring to the screen truly shines through on a live stage; you could really feel that they were in their element and were having just as good a time as we were.

I tried to meet these guys back in my F4 days when we raced with at in 2018 and 19, but it just never worked out. I was wondering if I’d get another chance to meet these guys in the States, and this podcast was the perfect opportunity! Thanks for taking the time to meet with my dad and I, and 😎

Starting P11 for the final race of 2024. Tune in on GT World at 11:55 AM ET and let’s end this year on a high note!

Guess who’s back? 🤩

Stoked to be racing with my family again in the this weekend at ! On track action begins on Thursday, and I look forward to ending the 2024 season on a high note. Let me know if I’ll see you there!

Cheers to the weekend!

Whoops…my fault 😣

Disappointed in myself for causing the incident in Race 1 today. I’m not proud of it and I feel horrible for everyone that got collected in it. We were off to a good start and it’s a shame to end the race that way.

I’ll be better tomorrow. See you for a bright and early for qualifying 2 at 8:15 AM CT.

Ending in the top 10 after Practice 2 today has us feeling good heading into qualifying! Bit of a short weekend without us getting any Thursday running so we’ve had to get after it quick. Thankful the crew gave me a good platform to take into race day tomorrow. We qualify at 9:50 AM CT with Race 1 going green at 2:25 PM CT! Be sure to tune in on the GT World YouTube channel!
