Aramendia has previously competed in series such as the Red River Modified Tour Factory Stock Division, the CRA JEGS All-Stars Tour, and the Show Me The Money Pro Late Model Series.[1]

In 2024, Aramendia participated in the pre-season test at Daytona International Speedway, driving the No. 63 Chevrolet for Spraker Racing Enterprises,[3] and placed 38th in the overall results between the two testing days.[4] A month later, Aramendia made his debut in the series, driving the No. 63 at the season opening race at Daytona, where he qualified in 28th but finished in 39th after being involved in a multi-car crash three laps into the race.[5][6][7] Aramendia and Spraker then entered in the following race at Phoenix Raceway.[8] After placing 31st in the lone practice session,[9] he qualified for the race in 31st, but finished in 34th due to overheating issues.[10][11][12] He was originally entered in the race at Talladega Superspeedway, but withdrew a couple days after the entry list was released.[13][14][15]
