Tim George Jr. (born December 21, 1980) is a professional American driver specializing in stock car racing.
Personal background and early racing experience
Born in 1980 on Manhattan's Upper East Side, George is the son of Timothy M. George, an investment banker. George Sr. serves as treasurer for the New York Philharmonic and founded the Potomac Family Dining Group, which operates multiple Applebee's franchises. Additionally, he has held senior positions at JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs.
George started his racing journey in 2005 while employed as a chef at an Italian restaurant in New York. After receiving criticism for altering a recipe during a catering event at Lime Rock Park’s sports-car races, he took time to observe the competitions and subsequently enrolled in a racing school. His initial competition was in the 2005 Skip Barber Racing School Southern Series. George participated in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series with TRG Motorsports during 2007 and 2008, where he was honored as the 2008 Rookie of the Year and secured a victory at New Jersey Motorsports Park before moving into full-time stock-car racing. He remains unmarried.
Stock car racing career
Although George only took part in two NASCAR series races, he began competing in the ARCA Racing Series in 2008. He initially drove for TRG Motorsports, then moved to Eddie Sharp Racing, and later joined Richard Childress Racing in 2010. His first ARCA victory came at Pocono Raceway during a rain-shortened event in 2011, where he led the final two laps before the race was called off. That year marked his highest ARCA points standing, finishing seventh overall.
Between 2009 and 2011, George made sporadic appearances in NASCAR-sanctioned events within the Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series. He debuted in the Truck Series at Phoenix International Raceway in 2009 and made his first Nationwide start at Road America in 2010. In 2011, he attempted to qualify for the season-ending Ford 200 Truck race with RCR and Eddie Sharp Racing but failed to make the field due to rain canceling qualifying sessions.
In 2012, George competed part-time in the Camping World Truck Series for Richard Childress Racing, piloting Applebee's-sponsored trucks in twelve races and concluding the season 22nd in points. He returned to the same series in 2013 driving for Wauters Motorsports.
