Aaron Colltier

Aaron Bradley Colltier (Born May 5th, 1996 in Westbrook, Maine) is an American race car driver, currently in his third year of competition in the FARC Lowe Dollar Series for Hicks and Briscoe Racing. Through his age-23 season, Colltier has collected 6 top 10's, 4 top 5's and a maiden win in the series, coming in the Quarterfinals of the 2018 [|2018 Smash Beer Oktoberfest Nationals]. His team competes part-time with the backing of fast food magnate Benito's Burritos, and the team has used Lenard power since its inception.

Colltier cut his teeth on the short tracks of Maine, winning a track championship at Oxford Plains in 2012 at the age of 17 and moving to a regional late model series across New England and Maritime Canada. There, he was discovered by local entrepreneur Charles Hicks, who partnered with Milwaukee-based financier Bill Briscoe to form a team, with Colltier as their main driver. In 2017, the partnership started eventfully and expensively, when at the season opening Smash Beer "Get Smashed" 108 at Texas World, Colltier ended upside down after a vicious accident, requiring surgery on his left ankle and a few stitches. But the same year Colltier scored a 3rd place at the round of Quincy, and since then the team has rebounded to run well on a limited schedule.

Aaron enjoys hiking and mountain biking when not racing, and has contributed to environmental causes and volunteered for cleanups in the past. He took a year off from racing at age 18 to focus on becoming an Eagle Scout (which, he will gladly remind you, he did!). He still makes his home in Westbrook in the offseason.
