🇺🇸 Brennan Poole

Brennan Poole is a professional stock car driver competing at the mid-field level across NASCAR's national series. His Racer Rating of 4,786 places him among professional competitors; drivers at this level are typically national championship front-runners or front-runners in strong feeder series who beat semi-professionals comfortably. Across nine seasons from 2018 to 2026, Poole has accumulated 207 starts in the NASCAR Truck Series, Cup Series, and Xfinity Series, with a single podium finish and an average classification of 23rd place. The strength of his competition has been substantial; his most frequent rivals include multiple elite-level professionals such as Sheldon Creed (5,838), Brandon Jones (5,655), and Austin Hill, the 2020 NASCAR Truck Series champion.[1]

Poole's record against this group reveals the competitive gap he faces. Against Creed he finished ahead in 39 of 152 shared races; against Hill in 29 of 152; against Jones in 44 of 131. He has beaten considerably stronger drivers in isolated instances, finishing ahead of Chase Elliott and Chase Briscoe on multiple occasions and Kyle Larson once, though these results do not form a pattern.
