Chase Austin is an American professional driver with a rating of 4,267, placing him among the professional tier; drivers at this level typically contest national championships or the stronger feeder series and beat semi-professionals consistently. Austin competed in Indy NXT from 2011 to 2014, completing six starts across four seasons with Belardi Auto Racing and Willy T. Ribbs/Starting Grid, Inc. He recorded no wins and no podium finishes in the series, with an average finishing position of P9.3 among classified results. His record placed him mid-field in a competitive field that included established and rising talent.[1]
Austin's competitive context shows a driver racing against peers of similar and higher calibre. He finished ahead of Juan Pablo Garcรญa in four of five shared races and bested Anders Krohn in all four encounters, but struggled against stronger drivers in the field. Against FIA Platinum-graded 2012 Indy NXT champion Esteban Guerrieri, Austin managed one top finish but was outscored over four races. He similarly split results against Bryan Clauson, Jack Hawksworth, and Mikaรซl Grenier, each drivers of higher rating, taking single victories over them but not establishing a pattern of superiority. His most frequent rival was Jorge Goncalvez, against whom Austin held a 2-3 head-to-head deficit. The bulk of his racing came through the Willy T. Ribbs organization, which recorded no wins across its two drivers during the period Austin raced for it.[2]
Austin's professional racing career spanned four seasons with six total starts, making for a limited but documented record in a serious feeder series. He is now retired from racing.
