Telitz still found his way into open-wheel racing during 2019; however, as he signed with Belardi for the Freedom 100, which was derailed with a broken half shaft.[7] A month later, he returned to Belardi for his home event at Road America.[8] His schedule expanded as the season went on, eventually winning a Lights contest in Toronto.[9]
For 2020, Telitz initially re-upped with AVS Vasser Sullivan for four WTSCC endurance events. That schedule was expanded to a full-time ride in June when original full-time driver Parker Chase found that the reconfigured schedule would clash with his educational pursuits.[10]
Personal life
Telitz is a painter and during his 2018 season sold paintings to pay for crash damage.[3] On November 22, 2021, Aaron's wife Maggie gave birth to a son.
