Jim Hovey is a club-level driver whose rating of 830 places him in the developing category; he has raced too few times to establish a consistent competitive pattern. His career consisted of two NASA starts across 2007 and 2008, yielding no wins or podiums. His most recent activity was a twenty-fifth-place finish in a NASA event in 2008.[1]
The limited data from Hovey's record shows an average finishing position of fifth across his classified starts, though this figure reflects only two races and carries little predictive value. He finished ahead of Stephanie Chang once and Peter Swarts once, both drivers rated below the club level, though these isolated results do not establish a competitive pattern given the small sample size. Hovey retired from racing after 2008 and has not returned to competition.
