🏳️ Bill Lester

Bill Lester is an American racing driver whose career in Racer DB is recorded within the NASCAR Truck Series, listed with a single career start and a status of retired. The database shows no championships, wins, or podiums across his tracked participation, and his most recent listed season shows one round completed with no wins or podiums, placing him P60 in the standings. His Racer Rating of 2,255 places him 4774th among active drivers on the platform's Elo-style scale, reflecting the limited sample of results captured in this record relative to the sport's highest-rated competitors.[1]

Beyond the scope of this database entry, Lester built a broader motorsport career that began with part-time sports car competition in the late 1990s before he moved into NASCAR's Truck Series, where he became known as the sport's only full-time African-American driver during his tenure there in the 2000s. He later returned to sports car racing for an extended stretch in the Rolex Sports Car Series before continuing to compete on a part-time basis in later years. Within Racer DB, however, his tracked profile reflects only the single recorded start noted above, and all figures for wins, podiums, and standings should be understood strictly within that limited dataset.[2]
