🏳️ Nick Sommers

Nick Sommers raced in NASA's multiclass championship, competing in the Spec Miata class driving Mazda MX-5 Miatas in spec trim. His racing spanned nine seasons from 2013 to 2021, all within the United States in a field mixing amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals. Sommers is a developing-level driver, rating 1,070 on the Elo scale.[1]

Across 71 starts he took 14 wins and 25 podiums. His final season in 2021 saw him place 131st in the NASA championship standings. His most consistent rivalry was against Justin Casey, a competitive amateur regular opponent with whom he remained closely matched across their shared races. Sommers typically finished ahead of Roy Fulmer IV, a semi-professional who raced NASA and Trans-Am TA2. He also beat two professional-graded drivers: Mason Filippi, who went on to win the 2026 IMSA Pilot Challenge TCR championship, four times, and Parker Chase, an established IMSA and ARCA competitor, three times.[2]

The Spec Miata field drew competitive amateurs and semi-professionals alongside professionals with FIA credentials, creating a mixed-level grid where speed ran across the full range. Sommers occupied mid-pack within this company, regularly competitive against amateur peers and occasionally ahead of drivers racing at a higher level in other series. His 14 wins across nine seasons came within a class operating under strict specifications, where advancement typically required moving to other machinery or series.
