John Hennessy is a Bronze-graded amateur sportscar driver with a Racer Rating of 2,237, placing him in the competitive amateur band; he races in fields that meet professionals but is not among them himself. His primary competition has been Lamborghini Super Trofeo NA between 2020 and 2022, where he started 21 times for O'Gara Motorsport and affiliated teams, scoring 5 wins and 11 podiums. That record represents solid one-make competence; he finished ahead of his championship-winning peer AJ Muss on three occasions and beat the stronger Silver-graded driver Nikko Reger in head-to-head racing, though he more often ran behind the 2020 Super Trofeo champion Randy Sellari, finishing behind him 12 times to 4 times ahead across 16 shared races. His average finish of 4.7 across all 30 starts on record reflects consistent mid-grid pace among drivers graded at his level or slightly stronger.[1]

Hennessy has raced sparingly outside the Lamborghini one-make series. A brief run in SCCA Majors in 2021 yielded no points from six starts, suggesting he was outpaced at national championship level. He was also entered in American Endurance Racing in 2025 but did not score in three starts there either. His record shows a driver most comfortable in the structured environment of a one-make championship, where he could regularly contend for podiums, rather than in professional-level or national series fields. Recent team headlines reference podium finishes at Watkins Glen in 2022, his final year of Super Trofeo competition.
