John Pew is a Silver-graded driver who raced prototypes in North American and international sports car championships between 2004 and 2016. He drove for Velocity Motorsports in Star Mazda, a single-driver national series, and for Michael Shank Racing in IMSA WeatherTech, a multiclass endurance championship where prototypes and other classes share the track. His final indexed start came in the 2016 World Endurance Championship in an LMP2 prototype. Pew was the overall winner of the 2012 24 Hours of Daytona, one of the sport's most prestigious endurance races.[1]

Across 26 IMSA WeatherTech starts over three seasons, Pew took one win and six podiums; his earlier campaign in Star Mazda yielded 25 starts. The 2016 WEC entry marked his first World Championship-level racing. In IMSA, where he raced alongside Platinum-graded champions João Barbosa and Christian Fittipaldi, Pew typically finished behind them but proved capable of beating Fittipaldi; he also outfinished Kevin Estre, a Platinum-graded professional with two WEC titles, on six occasions in the same series.[2]
