Howard Swig is a club-level driver who raced in NASA, a national multiclass championship mixing amateur and professional competitors in shared races across the United States. He drove a Mazda MX-5 Miata in the Spec Miata class for eight seasons between 2012 and 2021.[1]
Across his 31 starts in NASA, Swig took three podiums without recording a victory. His most recent activity came in 2021, when he competed in two rounds before finishing 131st in the season standings. He was a regular presence in the series throughout the decade, racing consistently against the same core group of club-level competitors.[2]
Swig finished ahead of entry-level professional drivers including Will Rodgers and Wyatt Couch on occasion, though those were isolated results rather than a pattern. His results against his most frequent rivals, Jimmy Casey and Aaron Braverman, both club-level drivers with far more NASA starts than his own, were closely matched.
