Barry Hartzel is a club-level driver who raced in NASA, a national multiclass championship that runs amateur and semi-professional entrants alongside graded professionals in the same race. He competed in the Spec Miata class, driving a Mazda MX-5 Miata in spec trim, primarily for team 100222.[1]
Hartzel raced in NASA for eleven seasons from 2003 to 2013, accumulating 44 starts, 11 wins and 27 podiums across that span. He finished 109th in the championship standings in his final season of 2013. His record shows consistent results against the drivers he encountered regularly; he typically finished ahead of developing-level opponents such as Bill Brown MD and Dennis Clark, both of whom he raced frequently over his NASA career.[2]
Hartzel's wins came against a field mixing club and developing drivers with occasional entries from stronger professionals. He beat entry-level professional Ryan Ellis twice and professional Gold-graded Elliott Skeer, a competitor who had also raced IMSA WeatherTech and GT World Challenge America, twice as well.
