He won a number of Junior division races and had 24 Top 5 finishes while racing in the Firestone Indy Lights series.
In 2005, Arie Jr attempted to qualify for the Indy 500 but was unsuccessful due to a combination of a faulty vehicle and lack of practice. The following year, he tried again, this time in a car owned by his father. He has been racing on the Indy Lights circuit since 2008 and won his first Indy Lights Championship in 2008. Currently, he is taking a break from racing and primarily works as a real estate broker in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Aside from racing, Arie Jr is also known for his appearances on reality TV. He was a contestant on the eighth season of “The Bachelorette” with Emily Maynard, where he finished second. In 2018, he came back to “The Bachelor” as the actual bachelor. On the show, he controversially asked a girl named Becca to marry him in the season finale, only to reverse his decision weeks later so he could rekindle his relationship with another girl named Lauren.
