Bret Holmes is a professional stock car racer competing in the NASCAR Truck Series, where he sits at the 4,149 rating; this places him in the professional band, meaning he runs at a national championship level and beats semi-professional fields comfortably. His record across five seasons from 2021 to 2025 shows 57 starts in the Truck Series with one podium finish and an average result of P21.6, a mid-pack standing that reflects the strength of the field he races in. Holmes has competed consistently against a roster of strong rival drivers; he has recorded wins in head-to-head matchups against professional-level competitors including Carson Hocevar, whom he finished ahead of on eight occasions, and the much stronger Corey Heim, a three-time Truck Series champion, whom he beat five times across their shared races.[1]

His record against his most frequent rivals tells a consistent story. Against Tyler Ankrum and Tanner Gray, drivers rated in the mid-4000s, Holmes holds narrow disadvantages, finishing ahead 23 times and 22 times respectively while trailing them 34 and 35 times. Against Ben Rhodes, Grant Enfinger, and Matt Crafton, all established professional competitors, his deficit widens considerably; he finished ahead of Rhodes only 15 times in 57 races and Enfinger just nine times in 48 races. This pattern indicates Holmes operates at the middle-to-lower tier of the professional field in the Truck Series, competitive enough to run regularly but outpaced on balance by the stronger names in the championship. His career has included rare moments against elite-level drivers, notching single wins against the much stronger Christopher Bell and Ryan Preece, though these stand as isolated results rather than established patterns.[2]

Holmes competed part-time through late 2024 before a lull, with recent reports placing him at Talladega in October 2025 following what had appeared to be a suspension of his racing programme after his team's assets were acquired in late 2024. His competitive standing remains that of a professional stock car driver working consistently within the Truck Series field without having secured a championship or breakthrough season despite half a decade of racing experience.
