🏁 We’re excited to introduce another one of the talented teams we’re proud to sponsor this season!
At Tri-State Car Wash Solutions, we value hard work, determination, and the drive to compete at the highest level—qualities that perfectly describe this next team. We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of their racing program and look forward to cheering them on all season long.
Learn more about their team below! 👇
Father-son duo Rob and Robbie Bauman make up the team at Bauman Motorsports. What is now a third generation program, starting with Rob’s father Leroy in the 1960(s), has continued today where Rob and his oldest son Robbie both compete at local racing venues in the Central Illinois region.
Having fielded both Late Models and Modifieds over the years, Bauman Motorsports shifted focus solely to Modifieds for the 2026 season.
Rob Sr.’s career began in 1979 when he first began racing at the Peoria (Ill.) Speedway. In 1982, he was the Sportsman Champion at Peoria Speedway. He is also a two-time track champion at Spoon River Speedway, where he won the E-Mod Points championship in 2001 and 2002. Today, Rob is found driving the #30 B-Mod at Peoria and Spoon River Speedway.
Robbie’s career started in 1997 when he first began racing go karts. He transitioned from Go Karts to stock cars in 2001. Having competed in both Late Model and Modifieds as well as go karts , Robbie has seen success in all avenues of his career. Perhaps his most memorable win was in 2006 when he won the Tuff Spoon 100 at Spoon River Speedway.
Since 2008, Rob and Robbie have called Peoria Speedway their home track. Robbie competed in the Steel Block / Limited Late Model division while Rob ran Modifieds. A few years later, both were competing in the Steel Block division together. Robbie piloted a late model for almost 20 years before now moving back into the modified ranks full-time.
“Being a small family-oriented program means so much. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to race alongside some many great competitors, but none have made me enjoy racing as much as it has being able to compete with Robbie”, said Rob Sr.
“Stock car racing is something that I’ve always done. We’ve been fortunate to have many great supporters over the years - and we’re happy to now be in our sixth year of our partnership with Corey and Tri-State Car Wash Solutions. Our on track success isn’t possible without the help of our partners - and Corey knows what it’s like to be competitive”, said Robbie.
We’re honored to support Bauman Motorsports and appreciate everything they do both on and off the track. We’re grateful for the partnership and proud to have them representing Tri-State Car Wash Solutions on the track. Here’s to a safe, successful, and exciting season ahead! 🏁
