Juan Hernandez is a semi-professional driver who competed in the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin during the 2021 season. His Racer Rating of 2,962 places him in the competitive amateur band, meaning he raced among genuine professionals and held his own in entry-level professional motorsport rather than competing solely in club racing. Over six starts with Team Guatemala Racing, Hernandez finished without a podium and averaged 16th place.[1]
Against the field Hernandez encountered, the results show mixed promise and limitation in equal measure. He defeated Aaron Jeansonne, an FIA Silver graded professional, twice over their six meetings, and beat Jared Thomas, the three-time Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup ND2 champion, on two occasions as well. He also posted four finishes ahead of Moisey Uretsky, an FIA Bronze graded competitor. However, the head-to-head record tells a more complete story. Jeansonne finished ahead of Hernandez four times; Thomas four times; Luca Mars, a current IMSA Pilot Challenge GS champion, five times in six meetings; and Gresham Wagner, the 2021 champion of this same series, in all six races. Hernandez's average finishing position of 16th across six races, against a field containing established professionals and a series champion, indicates he was at or below the median pace of the entry.
Hernandez has since retired from racing. Recent headlines under his name in 2024 and 2025 reference Santa Anita horse racing standings and do not relate to his motorsport career.
