David Starr is a semi-professional stock car driver with a Racer Rating of 3,827, placing him in the competitive amateur to semi-professional band; he races regularly in paid or sponsored rides against a field mixing established professionals and strong part-time competitors, but has not won at the national level. Across nine seasons from 2018 to 2026, he has made 157 starts in NASCAR's national series, concentrated in the Xfinity Series with 144 entries alongside 13 Cup Series starts. He has never won or podiumed in either series, finishing on average in 26th place across classified starts.[1]
Starr's record against regular rivals tells the story of a driver consistently outpaced by the front of the field. He competed in 144 Xfinity races alongside Justin Allgaier, the 2018 Xfinity champion and an elite-level driver, finishing ahead of him only 19 times; against Brandon Jones, another established professional, Starr finished ahead just 30 times in 144 races. He shows a similar pattern against Ryan Sieg, Jeremy Clements and other mid-tier professionals who formed the bulk of his competition. Only against Josh Williams, a driver at his own level, did Starr achieve a meaningfully competitive record, finishing ahead in 43 of 127 shared races. Against the Cup Series elite he has raced occasionally, he has stolen occasional finishes; he beat Denny Hamlin twice, Ryan Blaney three times, and Chase Briscoe seven times across their limited meetings, though these represent isolated results against much stronger competitors rather than any consistent competitive edge.[2]
As of mid-2026, Starr remains active in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, driving for Joey Gase Motorsports and Young's Motorsports on a part-time basis. His most recent activity shows five starts in the early 2026 season with no wins or podiums and a 36th-place finish, consistent with the trajectory of his career to date.
