Ray Sweers is a club-level driver who raced in NASA, a national multiclass championship in which fifteen classes share the track and field ranges from amateur entrants to graded professionals. He drove Dodge Vipers in the Super Touring 1 and Super Unlimited classes, closed-wheel categories classed by power-to-weight and open to any closed-wheel car respectively.[1]
Sweers raced seven seasons between 2011 and 2021, starting 24 times across that span and taking 8 wins and 18 podiums. His most recent activity came in 2021, when he finished 21st in the championship standings with one win and one podium from three rounds raced.[2]
He was closely matched against club-level regulars Greg Vannucci and Michael Bagnoli, both of whom he encountered repeatedly in NASA competition. Sweers occasionally finished ahead of stronger drivers, including entry-level professional David Pintaric, who also raced the Dodge Viper for the same team, and semi-professional Jeff Wood, an established NASA regular with 130 starts in that series.
