Lee Papageorge is a developing-level driver who raced in NASA, a national multiclass endurance championship in the United States. He competed primarily in the Spec Miata class, running a Mazda Miata in spec trim, and also raced the production-based PTD class over a nine-season span from 2007 to 2019. His record totals 40 starts with three wins and eight podiums across NASA and BMW CCA Club Racing, though the bulk of his activity came in NASA, where he made 37 starts over that period.[1]
Papageorge finished 104th in the 2019 NASA championship standings in his final indexed season. His three wins came in NASA competition, and he took eight podiums across both series. His most regular opposition in NASA included Hannah Grisham, a professional and FIA Silver-graded driver who went on to win the 2026 World Racing League GTO National and GTO East championships, and Mikhael Haddad, a club-level driver; Papageorge typically finished behind both. He did beat Grisham on three occasions, and also finished ahead of Eric Powell, an entry-level professional who has raced in GT4 America, IMSA Pilot Challenge and the World Endurance Championship, twice over the course of their meetings.[2]
