Brian Theines is a semi-professional driver, rated 3,851; this places him in the band of competitive drivers who win in pro-am and one-make classes and typically run mid-pack in stronger fields. His career record comprises a single season in the Star Mazda Championship during 2003, in which he started seven times without recording a win or podium finish. He averaged a finishing position of P13.4 across classified races.[1]
Theines competed in a field that included several drivers of professional standing. Michael McDowell, who would go on to win the 2004 Star Mazda Championship and later become an FIA Gold-graded professional, finished ahead of him in all seven shared races. Luis Schiavo, the 2003 Star Mazda champion, also finished ahead of Theines in all their meetings. Against mid-field competition, Theines showed mixed results; he finished ahead of Ryan Justice, a professional-rated driver, in five of seven races, and beat former 2002 champion Moses Smith once, but more often ran behind established drivers such as Jamie Bach and James Goughary. His record suggests he operated at the lower end of a competitive single-seater field during his brief racing tenure before retiring.
