Nicky Hays is an American racing driver currently competing in the IMSA Pilot Challenge for Random Vandals Racing. Before turning his focus to the Pilot Challenge, Hays built a background in American open-wheel and sports car racing, having competed in the 2022 USF2000 Championship with Cape Motorsports and the 2023 Porsche Carrera Cup North America with Wright Motorsports, experience that has informed his transition into endurance-style competition.[1]

Across 20 career starts in IMSA Pilot Challenge, Hays has secured one win and two podium finishes, though he has yet to claim a championship. His 2026 season has been his most productive to date, with one win and two podiums through 10 rounds, placing him P27 in the standings. His current Racer Rating of 2,396 ranks him 4487th among active drivers, reflecting a competitor still working to establish himself against the sport's elite, but his active status and recent results suggest a driver continuing to gain experience and seeking to build on his lone career victory.[2]
