Bret Arsenault competed in the Star Mazda Championship in 2002, his single season of racing on record. He started six rounds and finished on average in ninth place, recording no wins or podiums across the series.[1]
Arsenault raced against a field that included Moses Smith, the 2002 Star Mazda champion, and finished behind him in five of their six encounters. He also contested races with Tim Jennings and Justin Pruskowski; against the latter he posted a more competitive record, finishing ahead in four of six meetings. His most notable single result came when he finished ahead of Scott Speed, a driver who would go on to win the 2004 Formula Renault Eurocup and reach an elite professional level, though this represented an isolated result rather than a pattern of competitive advantage.
Arsenault holds a Racer Rating of 3,939, placing him in the semi-professional band. This reflects a driver racing among professionals but unable to establish himself consistently; his record shows regular finishes in the middle order of a competitive single-seater field, with limited success against the stronger drivers in the series. His career ended after the 2002 season and he is now retired from motorsport.
