Chris Stone is an entry-level professional racing driver who competed in single-seater spec racing during 2016. He drove Mazda MX-5 Cup cars for UAO Clothing/JH Precision Machine/LYFE Motorsports in the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin, and made one additional start in NASA's multiclass national championship, piloting a spec Nissan 350Z.[1]
Stone's indexed racing record spans a single season, 2016, with 13 starts across two series. In the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup he completed a full twelve-round campaign and finished seventh in the final standings with three podium finishes. He added one podium result in his sole NASA outing. His career total stands at four podiums from thirteen starts. Stone has not raced in the index since 2016 and is now retired from competition.[2]
The Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup that season included drivers of mixed levels, among them Nikko Reger, who would go on to win the ND1 championship the following year. Stone ran closely matched with Reger and with Robby Foley, a professional graded driver who later won championships in IMSA Pilot Challenge and GT World Challenge America. Stone finished ahead of Foley on multiple occasions across their meetings, demonstrating competitive pace against established professionals despite his entry-level standing in a field spanning amateurs through to graded professionals.
