Donny Lia is an entry-level professional stock car racing driver whose career on record spans two seasons across single-class national championships in the United States. He raced the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour for Propane Plus / Huntington Honda, fielded by Jan Boehler, and made one start in NASCAR Xfinity, a series that fields amateur and semi-professional drivers alongside graded professionals.[1]
Lia's indexed record comprises six starts in the Modified Tour in 2022 and a single Xfinity start in 2009, finishing 39th in the Xfinity points that season. His most substantial activity came in the Modified Tour, where he raced against the series' established drivers; he beat Justin Bonsignore, a four-time Modified Tour champion, once, and finished ahead of Austin Beers, the 2025 Modified Tour champion, three times, though he typically finished behind Beers across their meetings.[2]
He occupied mid-field in a field of professionals anchored by multiple champions. Bonsignore alone holds four championships in the series, and Beers, the most recent title holder, has raced the Modified Tour consistently at a professional level. Lia's record against them reflects the step between entry-level and established professional competition; his wins over Bonsignore and regular finishes ahead of Beers show he could run competitively among the regulars, though his own championship finishes did not come in the indexed seasons.
