Brandon Setzer (born October 26, 1993) is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner who competed in the CARS Tour from 2015 to 2023. He is the son of former NASCAR driver Dennis Setzer.[1][2] He is also the owner of Setzer Racing and Development, which competes in late model competition.[3]
In the CARS Tour, Setzer primarily competed in the Super Late Model Tour from 2015 to 2021, where he won six races (two in 2015,[4][5] one in 2016, two in 2017,[6] and one in 2018[7]), and finished second in the points in 2016 and 2017.[8]
During a CARS race at Hickory Motor Speedway in May 2018, Setzer was involved in an altercation with Raphaël Lessard late in race, where he was spun by Lessard on the final lap, which led officials to black flag Lessard and send him to the back for the final restart.[9] After the race, Setzer wan involved in a fight with crew members from Lessard's team, Kyle Busch Motorsports. He and father Dennis were later given a five race suspension,[10] which would later be reduced following an appeal.[11]
Setzer has also competed in series such as the PASS South Super Late Model Series, the Southeast Limited Late Model Series, the PRA Super Late Model Series, and the Paramount Kia Big 10 Challenge.[12]
