Raiden Nicol is a semi-professional driver racing in national multiclass sprint championships. He competes primarily in NASA, a fifteen-class series mixing amateur and professional fields, and in Radical Cup NA, a five-class prototype series, both run in the United States.

Across five seasons from 2021 to 2025, Nicol has compiled 30 wins and 38 podiums from 56 starts in this index. He took the 2025 Radical Cup NA championship with PRIMAL Racing and won the PRO 1500 class at the 2025 Radical World Finals.
