The youngest of three racing brothers, all of whom have competed at WX, Paul is the second-youngest competitor in SnoCross in 2005. The college freshman doesn't have time to follow the National series, so he races on several circuits around Minnesota.
One of the final picks for WX HLX '04, Paul is the youngest of the three racing Bauerly brothers (middle brother Kurt competed at WX '03 and oldest bro Chad is also qualified for WX '04 HLX.) Paul is the second-youngest HLX competitor.
