Bailey Sweeny is one of Australia’s rising motorsport stars, and joins HMO Customer Racing in 2022 as the team expands to a three-car outfit.

The 20-year-old from Bateman’s Bay, on the New South Wales south coast, has rocketed up the ranks following a stellar junior career in go-kart racing which began with two club championships in his rookie season.

He continued to chalk-up a collection of prominent trophies in the following years, culminating with NSW and ACT State Championship titles in 2020.

This led to Bailey being selected as a member of the Erebus Motorsport academy, a junior development program for the Bathurst winning Supercars team, and making his car racing debut in low-key events driving a Hyundai X3 Excel and then stepping-up to a Toyota 86.

Bailey competed in the national one-make Toyota Gazoo Racing 86 Series in 2021, scoring numerous podium finishes in his rookie season.

He dovetailed his a second season in the Toyota 86 Series with a stunning debut in the  2022 Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Championship, driving a Hyundai i30 N TCR for HMO Customer Racing.

Sweeny finished fifth on the championship standings, scoring two emphatic victories at Mount Panorama and winning the Rookie of the Year award.

He continues with HMO Customer Racing in 2023, driving the team’s proven i30 N TCR hatchback and is aiming to build on his successful debut season as a genuine title contender.
