Barry Boes is an entry-level professional competing in national solo sprint racing across multiple single-class and multiclass championships in the United States. He races tube-frame silhouette GT cars and one-design sports racers in the SCCA Majors series, where he is based, alongside regular appearances in Trans-Am TA2 and occasional NASA competition in Spec Miata machinery.[1]
Boes has built his record primarily through SCCA Majors, where he has won nine races and taken 14 podiums from 20 starts across two championship seasons. He won back-to-back SCCA Majors titles in 2023 and 2024. His Trans-Am TA2 record spans seven seasons from 2019 to the present with 56 starts, producing one podium finish; in 2025 he made a single start in the national Trans-Am series and stands eighth in the championship standings. He has also raced in SCCA Regionals and the SCCA Runoffs, with wins and podiums in both.[2]
Boes runs regularly against semi-professional and entry-level professional opposition in multiclass grids that mix amateurs with graded professionals. He is closely matched with Tom Sheehan, a semi-professional regular in Trans-Am TA2, and typically finishes behind Rafa Matos, an entry-level professional and two-time Trans-Am TA2 champion with prior experience in IndyCar and the NASCAR Truck Series. He has beaten elite professional Ty Gibbs twice in head-to-head competition and once finished ahead of Daniel Suarez, an established professional with 337 NASCAR Cup Series starts and a 2016 NASCAR Xfinity title.
