Nate Cicero is a professional endurance racing driver competing as FIA Silver, the grade below full-professional status in GT and sportscar racing. He races for McCumbee McAleer Racing in the IMSA Pilot Challenge, where he co-drives GT4-level production-based sports cars in the GS class alongside shared-car teammates. He also competes in the solo sprint format of the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup for the same team, and occasionally contests GT4 America and other national series.[1]
Cicero has raced for six seasons since 2021, with 83 starts across multiple formats. His primary series has been the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup, where 42 starts have yielded three wins and nine podiums over three seasons; he finished eighth in the championship standings in 2025 after two podium finishes. In the IMSA Pilot Challenge, he has taken one win and three additional podiums from 13 starts across three seasons. He has also competed in SCCA Majors and Regionals, Mustang Challenge, and the SKUSA SuperNationals. His career total stands at six wins and 21 podiums.[2]
In the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup, Cicero races regularly against Jeremy Fletcher, the 2025 champion of the ND2 class, and they are closely matched. He typically finishes behind Jared Thomas, a professional and three-time Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup champion in 2022, 2023 and 2024. His strongest scalp is Connor Zilisch, an established Gold-graded professional and 2025 NASCAR Xfinity champion, whom Cicero has beaten seven times across their meetings in the MX-5 Cup. In August 2026, with the Michelin Pilot Challenge points lead in hand, Cicero stepped back from racing.
