Ben Maier is a professional driver racing in national amateur and semi-professional championships; he holds an FIA Silver grading, placing him below the full-professional ranks in endurance and sportscar racing. His primary focus has been NASA's Spec Miata class and Trans-Am TA2, where he drives Mazda MX-5 Miatas, with recent activity in NASCAR Truck Series road-course rounds.[1]
Across six seasons from 2020 to 2026, Maier has compiled 64 starts, six wins and 19 podiums across NASA, Trans-Am TA2, SCCA Majors and SCCA Regionals. His strongest showing came in NASA, where he took four wins and 11 podiums from 19 starts in Spec Miata. Trans-Am TA2 has been his most consistent series with 28 starts, though he has managed only one win and three podiums there. He has contested the road-course rounds of the NASCAR Truck Series in 2025 and 2026, entering the latter season in 15th position after one race. In his first indexed season, 2026 in Trans-Am, he sits 15th in the championship standings with one podium so far as the season remains in progress.[2]
Maier typically finishes behind Thomas Annunziata, the 2026 ARCA Menards Series champion, when they meet in Trans-Am, though he runs closely matched against Adrian Wlostowski, an entry-level professional and 2016 NASA Super Touring 2 champion. He has finished ahead of Dario Franchitti, a four-time IndyCar champion, and Daniel Suárez, the 2016 NASCAR Xfinity champion, in single instances. The multiclass fields he races, NASA and SCCA Majors each sharing the track with 15 and 25 other classes respectively, comprise amateur and semi-professional entrants alongside graded professionals, and Maier contests them as a mid-field competitor.
