Jason Padilla is a developing driver. His rating of 556 places him among club-level competitors; this is the entry tier of racing with a competition licence, where fields do not regularly include established professionals. Padilla raced in NASA between 2015 and 2019 across four seasons and 18 starts in Mazda Miata machinery. He scored two podium finishes but no wins, with an average finishing position of 9.2.[1]
His head-to-head record against regular rivals shows mixed results typical of a driver at this level. Padilla finished behind Bayani Dia in all 11 shared races, and behind Bradley Miller and Bill Miller in the vast majority of their encounters, suggesting these were consistently stronger competitors. Against Rodriques Walker, by contrast, he held a decisive 8-1 advantage over nine races. Padilla occasionally beat more experienced drivers such as Don Elvington on two occasions, though these were isolated results rather than sustained patterns of outperformance. His most competitive period came early in his career; his final season in 2019 yielded no podiums across two NASA rounds and a finish of 194th, after which he retired from racing.
