Racing career

In 2003, Basham would make his debut in the ARCA Re/Max Series at Pocono Raceway driving the No. 94 Chevrolet for Darrell Basham Racing, where he would start 28th and finish one place higher in 27th due to an engine issue. He would then fail to qualify for the next two events following the race. For the following year, he would race for Mark Gibson Racing at Salem Speedway driving the No. 56 Chevrolet, where he would finish 32nd after three laps due to a rear end issue. He would then run select starts for his fathers team, earning a best finish of 19th at Gateway Motorsports Park.

In 2005, Basham would enter in all but one race (with the one race being at the second Toledo Speedway event that September), primarily driving the No. 94. He would finish 22nd in the final points standings with a best finish of 21st at Kansas Speedway, despite failing to qualify for fourteen events and only racing in eight events. He would only enter in two races for the team the following year, failing to qualify for both events, including the event at Talladega Superspeedway where he would be placed in the No. 10 Chevrolet for Fast Track Racing after qualifying; he would finish 40th after six laps due to vibrations in the car. It was also during this year that he would make two starts in the CRA Street Stock Series, getting a best finish of 29th at the first Winchester Speedway event. [1] He would then enter two more races in ARCA in 2007, successfully qualifying for both events at Kansas and Michigan International Speedway, although he would finish 38th in both events due to overheating issues. He would run eight more races in 2008, where he would get a best finish of 18th at Toledo.

In 2009, after skipping the season opening race at Daytona International Speedway, Basham would run the remaining races on the schedule in the No. 94, getting four top-twenty finishes with a best result of 15th at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds dirt track. He would finish 17th in the final points standings, and with father Darrell Basham finish 12th in the standings, that made them the first father and son duo to finish in the top twenty in the standings in the same year. [2] He would run only eleven races the following year, finish 25th in the points. It was also during this year that he earned his first top-ten finish at the Illinois State Fairgrounds dirt track, where he would finish 10th and on the lead lap. [3]

After not racing in ARCA for two years, Basham would make his return to the series in 2013 at Salem Speedway for Darrell Basham Racing, this time driving the flagship No. 34 Chevrolet for the team. He would go on to finish nine laps down in 14th after starting 25th. He would make three more starts during the year, including Madison International Speedway and both dirt track events, finishing 14th at DuQuoin. This would be his most recent start in the series, as he has made limited starts in the East Bay Winternationals and the Indiana Late Model Series since 2015. [1]
