James Bickford is one of the most popular and richest Racing Driver who was born on March 16, 1998 in Napa, Napa, ****. In the late 1970s and early ‘80s, Tom Bickford was making Quarter Midget parts for Ron Stanley race cars, and shortly after, began making parts for nephew Jeff Gordon, as Jeff and his father, John, traveled across the country to compete in Quarter Midget races. James began racing in the Quarter Midgets at the age of five. At this age, Tom referred to racing as a “fathers-sons-sport”. Bickford won 69 of 75 races entered in just one of three different Quarter Midget Divisions he raced during 2007.

By the age of nine, Bickford was racing 48 weeks out of the year. By 2010, the young driver, who attended St. Apollinaris Catholic school, had won 15 Quarter Midget championships: four local track championships, two Nor Cal championships, four regional championships, two California 500 championships, two Western States Mona championships and one Dirt Road National, as well as close to 200 main events.

After winning the Legends Main event in late October, James clinched the Semi- Pro Legends Championship. James also secured Rookie of the Year for Legends of the Pacific with a commanding 41-point lead with only three races left in the season. Following his move to Legends from 2011-2012, Bickford had a big setback in August 2012 that ended his Legends season and disrupted his plans for 2013. The day before he was to be fitted for a seat in a late model that was under consideration for this year, he broke his arm playing high school football (prior to his freshman year); at 5’3” and 120 pounds, James ended up at the bottom of a dog pile. Although sidelined from driving, Bickford attended the last five races of his Legends racing season.

For the 2011 season, James moved up to drive a Legends car for the Legends of the Pacific Series. According to many stock car racers, Legends cars are among the hardest and most physically challenging cars to race. Regarding Legends cars, Matt Scott, the 2010 Late Model champion and a good friend of Bickford’s, said, “If you drive a Legends car, you can drive anything,” due to the fact that it has a lot more horsepower than a Bandolero.

At the beginning of his Bandolero season, James was eleven years old. In his first race at Ukiah Speedway on April 10, 2010, he won the trophy dash and came in second in the A-main. He then won the Bandolero race at All-American Speedway in Roseville, California on April 17, along with trophy dash and heat race. In late April, 2010 he raced again at Ukiah and set a new track record with a lap of 15.324 seconds.
