John Pew is a retired established professional driver, FIA Silver graded, who raced prototypes in the IMSA WeatherTech multiclass endurance series for Michael Shank Racing with Curb-Agajanian from 2014 to 2016. His earlier career included three seasons in Star Mazda Championship, a national single-class series, from 2004 to 2006 with Velocity Motorsports.[1]
Across 52 indexed starts Pew took one win and six podiums. His victory came in IMSA WeatherTech competition. The bulk of his record sits in the IMSA WeatherTech series, where he made 26 starts across three seasons and finished on the podium in six of those outings. He also made a single start in the World Endurance Championship in 2016, racing an LMP2 prototype for Michael Shank Racing and finishing 30th in the championship standings.[2]
The IMSA WeatherTech grid he raced in regularly included Platinum-graded professionals such as Joรฃo Barbosa, the 2014 IMSA champion, and Christian Fittipaldi, who won the same championship in 2014 as well as the 1991 Formula 3000 title and made 40 Formula 1 starts. Pew finished behind both drivers more often than ahead of them, though he beat Fittipaldi six times across their meetings and took one result ahead of Shane van Gisbergen, a multiple Supercars champion with more than 150 starts in that series.
