Jim Viall is a retired endurance racing driver rated 955, placing him in the developing category. This rating reflects a driver with minimal competitive experience; he completed fourteen starts across seven seasons of American Endurance Racing between 2015 and 2021 with no wins and four podium finishes. His average finishing position of fifth across classified starts suggests occasional competitive pace, but the small sample size and extended gaps between campaigns indicate a part-time or sporadic commitment to racing rather than a sustained professional effort.[1]
Viall's competition was typically against semi-professional fields in American Endurance Racing. His head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals was mixed; he finished ahead of Philippe Pellerin three times in five meetings, beat Sandro Espinosa and Alex Wolenski in equal measure in four races each, and notably defeated Cody Ace and James Counterman three times in four meetings despite both being class champions in the series. He also recorded isolated victories over stronger drivers including Preston Brown, a TCR national champion rated 3,866, and Michael Hurczyn, a 2016 and 2017 American Endurance Racing class champion rated 3,100. These occasional results against higher-level drivers appear incidental rather than part of a pattern of competitive success.
Viall's most recent activity was a single race in 2021 where he finished 118th, his lowest result on record. He has not raced since and is recorded as retired.
