Winston West

Aiken had a solid first season in the NASCAR Winston West Series in 1985. That year, competing full time for Stoke Racing, Aiken had a best finish of fourth and finished the season fifth in the points standings. After a single start for Stoke in 1986, Aiken did not compete in the series again until 1997, when he only made one start. Aiken's last races came in 1998, when he finished sixteenth in points with three top-fives and thirteen top-tens. That included a career best third at Mesa Marin. After attempting to qualify for the 1999 season opener, he would not compete in the series again.

Winston Cup

Aiken made two NASCAR Winston Cup Series starts, both combination races with the West Series, in 1985. Aiken debuted at Riverside, starting the race in 36th. Due to engine failure, Aiken would fall to 38th in the event, only completing twenty four laps. Later in the year, Aiken would return to Riverside, competing in what served as the finale for both Winston Cup and Winston West. Starting from 34th place, Aiken was able to finish the race and do so in 29th.

Post-racing career

After retiring from racing, Aiken became the manager and promoter at Ukiah Speedway in California. [1]
