🇺🇸 AJ Henriksen

Henriksen is a competitive amateur; his Racer Rating of 2,699 places him at club level, meaning he raced against professionals but typically finished well behind them in national-level fields. His career on record spans three seasons from 2021 to 2023 in Trans-Am competition, where he made four starts across the TA and TA2 classes. He averaged a 13th-place finish and claimed a single podium in 2021 Trans-Am, his only top-three result in the series. His record shows a losing head-to-head against most rivals he encountered; he finished behind the Bronze-graded Misha Goikhberg in all three of their shared races, for instance. However, he recorded isolated wins against drivers considerably stronger than his typical competition, including the Gold-graded three-time Trans-Am and Lamborghini Super Trofeo champion Ernie Francis Jr, the Silver-graded 2017 IMSA Pilot Challenge GS champion Dillon Machavern, and the professional-level Connor Mosack.[1]

Henriksen's recorded racing career in Trans-Am represents a late-stage effort in a motorsport life that had been largely spent in the ARCA Racing Series between 1995 and 2017, where he competed as a stock car driver over more than two decades. His brief Trans-Am campaign added four starts and one podium to a much longer racing history. He retired after 2023 and is no longer active on the racing calendar.[2]
