Career

In addition to his Grand National Series career, Haines also raced in the Pacific Coast Late Model Division. He competed in seven Grand National events in his career, earning four top-tens.

Haines then drove to a career-best second-place effort at Eureka. Mechanical failures left Haines out of the next two races, but then he finished fourth at Sacramento and ninth at San Mateo in his final three races to close out his career, finishing 15th in his final race, at Portland.

Haines worked at Bi-Rite Motors in Yakima, Washington for many years.^{[citation needed]}
