🏳️ Jared Applegate

Jared Applegate is a competitive amateur; his Racer Rating of 2,551 places him at the front of club racing and entry-level professional-am fields. His record spans two seasons across endurance and single-seater racing, with eight starts yielding one win and six podiums. His average finish of third place across classified starts reflects consistent competitiveness at this level.[1]

Applegate's record against regular rivals is mixed. He trades head-to-head results evenly with Lorenzo Dipillo and Mike Dipillo, the latter a three-time American Endurance Racing Class 4 champion, finishing ahead of each in exactly half their six shared races. He holds a losing record against Robert Ames across six meetings. Against stronger drivers, Applegate has shown occasional results; he beat Michael Tosi, a FIA Bronze driver, twice, and also twice finished ahead of Andrew Heffring, a FIA Silver graded professional, though these remain isolated instances rather than patterns. Against the top-tier rivals in his field, graded drivers Cory Deeds, Tyler Sharinn and Marc Sharinn, all considerably stronger, Applegate has not finished ahead in nine combined races.

Most recent activity places Applegate in the Zenith Racing Series with Kingpin Racing, where he won one of his two starts and podiumed in both. The endurance racing that dominated his 2025 season has given way to what appears to be a single-seater formula in 2026, though the sample remains very small. Applegate remains active and improving through a professional-am or club racing environment.
