The 1997 KOOL Toyota Atlantic Champion, moved across to the IRL, where he had trouble finding a regular drive and got his opportunities through injuries to other drivers.

After racing in the 2008 Rolex 24 at Daytona, Barron stopped racing at an international level.
Racing career
Early Years
Barron was born in San Diego, California. In 1996, the opportunity for him to move up to US National Formula Ford 2000 came with the DSTP Team. This proved to be steep learning curve from kart to open wheel race car, for the young racer. However, a podium, a fastest lap and six top ten finishes won him to chance to race in Toyota Atlantic the following season.
Barron was born in Orangeburg, South Carolina. He attended Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School, and was a two-sport star in football and basketball for the Wilkinson Bruins. In football, he was named a high school All-American by both PrepStar and Football News, ranked the No. 3 lineman in the nation by PrepStar, named to the All-South team by the Orlando Sentinel, and selected as Jeff Whittaker's Deep South Recruiting Guide South Carolina Player of the Year.

... of suit his driving style, and I think that he’s adjusted to the speed really quick,” said former IndyCar driver AlexBarron, a longtime advisor to Allaer and twice a top-10 finisher at the Indy 500.
Ferrucci is even the first driver since AlexBarron (2002-’07) to finish ahead of his starting position in each of his first five 500s. A more obscure, but almost more unlikely, statistic was generated by polesitter Alex Palou.
