He went on to win the title the following year with five feature race wins, seven poles (with four of them setting new track records), twelve top-fives, and eight heat race wins. He won the title again in 2011 with twelve poles, six feature race wins, six heat race wins, and eight poles, and won the title for two more years in 2012 and 2013.

Baird moved to dwarf cars in 2014, driving for Finishline Racing in the MCR Dwarf Series, finishing third in the points that year, whilst also winning rookie of the year honors. He departed the team to race in his own equipment in 2015 and finished fourth in the points that year.

In 2016, Baird made his ARCA Racing Series debut at Michigan International Speedway, driving the No. 64 Chevrolet for Hixson Motorsports, where he finished seventh. He repeated that finish in his next start at Chicagoland Speedway. He joined Jent Motorsports at Kansas Speedway, driving the No. 14 Ford and finished 22nd.
