Biography
Ronnie Bassett Jr. (born December 21, 1995) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 90 Chevrolet Camaro for DGM Racing. He also has run in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, amassing 67 starts and a win while driving mainly for his family team.
Racing career
As part of his early racing career, Bassett raced Bandolero cars, Legends cars and late models, often competing against his brother Dillon.
In May 2016, a fire swept through the Bassett Racing shop, rendering most of the team's NASCAR K&N Pro Series East equipment unusable. Bassett found temporary reprieve with Calabrese Motorsports, who offered Bassett a ride in the team's No. 43 for the next race.
In 2017, Bassett won his first career K&N Pro Series East race in the New Smyrna 175, showing strength in the late portions of the race.
Bassett made his Xfinity Series debut at ISM Raceway in March 2019, driving the No. 90 Chevrolet for DGM Racing. He returned to the team for the race at Texas Motor Speedway, where Bassett scored a top-fifteen finish after having to start from the rear of the field.
Personal life
Bassett's younger brother Dillon also competes in NASCAR. The two raced together for family-operated Bassett Racing in the NASCAR K&N series, owned by their father Ronnie Sr.
