Gavin Harlien

Gavin Harlien (born August 20, 1999) is an American professional off-road racing driver. He has raced in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, Global RallyCross Championship, and Stadium Super Trucks. Harlien has also competed in stock car racing like the ARCA Menards Series.

Harlien won the Stadium Super Trucks championship in 2022 and 2023.

Racing career Harlien began competing in off-road racing when he was 11. In 2012, he was named Rookie of the Year in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series' (LOORRS) Modified Kart class; when he moved up to LOORRS' Pro Lite Trucks in 2014, he had won four Modified Kart races with 23 podium finishes. In the Pro Lite Trucks, he won 2014 Rookie of the Year honors with a best finish of second at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park.

On March 30, 2014, Harlien made his first start in the Stadium Super Trucks with a fourth-place run at St. Petersburg. In June, he competed in the series' X Games Austin 2014 round; at 14 years, he was the youngest motorized athlete in X Games history. He finished fifth in his heat race and ninth in the final. The following year, he returned to SST at X Games Austin 2015, but failed to qualify for the final after finishing fifth in his heat and failing to start the Last Chance Qualifier. 2015 also saw his debut in the Global RallyCross Championship Lites division with Tim Bell Racing.

Harlien began competing full-time in the Stadium Super Trucks in 2017. Although he failed to win a race, he finished fourth in the standings with nine podiums. He recorded four more wins at Detroit, Texas Motor Speedway, Sydney Motorsport Park, and Glen Helen Raceway as he finished second in the championship to Matthew Brabham by 50 points.

After not racing in 2020 and 2021 to focus on his schooling, Harlien rejoined SST for the 2022 season opener at Long Beach. At Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, he was the fastest qualifier and won his first race since his return, albeit in controversial fashion due to a scoring error by USAC; a runner-up finish in the next day's race allowed him to claim the weekend victory. Harlien scored another win at Bristol Motor Speedway and claimed the championship by 25 points on runner-up Max Gordon. Despite going winless in 2023, he won a second straight title by four points over Brabham. He was a business major at the University of Arizona. 2015 ADE ADE ADE STP STP LBH DET DET DET
