Racing career

edit

In 2004, Guerity made his debut in the ARCA Re/Max Series at Lowe's Motor Speedway, driving the No. 2 Dodge for Cunningham Motorsports with sponsorship from Hantz Group, where he started as 31st but finished in 39th due to a crash. He then made three more starts across the year, getting a best finish of 25th at Michigan International Speedway. In 2005, Guerity ran a majority of the races that year, getting five top-ten finishes with a best finish of second at Michigan, where he finished behind race winner Steve Wallace by four tenths of a second.[1][2] Guerity originally had a ride secured for the 2006 season, but funding and sponsorship issues forced him out of the ride, and he was forced to sit out of the year.[3]

After not racing in 2007, Guerity attempted to make his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut at Michigan, driving the No. 57 Dodge for Mike Ege Racing, but ultimately failed to qualify.

After taking another year off of racing, Guerity made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut at Charlotte, driving the No. 01 Chevrolet for Daisy Ramirez Motorsports, where he finished in 31st due to engine issues.[4] He then drove the No. 6 Chevrolet for Rick Ware Racing at the next race at Texas Motor Speedway, where he finished in 25th due to clutch issues. He then returned to Daisy Ramirez Motorsports at the very next race at Michigan, where he finished nine laps down in 26th position. It was also during this year when he ran in the ISCARS Series, where he finished in eighth in points despite running only seven races.[5]

In 2012, Guerity once again attempted to make his debut in the NASCAR Nationwide Series at Iowa Speedway, this time driving the No. 75 Chevrolet for Rick Ware Racing. He qualified for the event in 43rd, and finished in 39th after running four laps due to clutch issues. He then returned to RWR at Michigan, this time running the No. 71, where he finished in 40th after six laps due to vibration issues. The Michigan race would be his most recent event as a driver, as he has not competed in any racing series since then.[5]
