Last season, Bassett began running the UARA-STARS Series full time for his own family owned team and though the team had their moments and even qualified on the pole for a race at Lonesome Pine Raceway, they decided to make the move to Fat Head Racing(FHR) in 2011.  FHR is a Driver Development Program known for taking young drivers and molding them into winners and championship caliber drivers and in just a short time with the team, Bassett has come into his own, starting from the pole and winning his first career UARA-STARS Series race.  The young driver is making his own path and looks to become one of the drivers to beat in Late Model Stock Car racing for years to come.
