Mike left his many years of racing with his dad on dirt tracks, and began his first ever asphalt race at Thunder Road in 1995.”
Aube was 7th all-time with 237 starts on the former American Canadian Tour (ACT) Pro Stock Tour, where he finished second (2nd) in point standings in 1987. He also won seven (7) major events on the former ACT series. Aube went on to become a 3-time NASCAR Busch North (now K&N Pro Series East) Champion, compiling 9 Busch North wins along the way.
