🇺🇸 Reed Sorenson

Reed Sorenson is an entry-level professional who raced solo stock cars in NASCAR's national championships across fifteen seasons from 2004 to 2020. His primary base was the NASCAR Xfinity Series, where he spent thirteen years with JD Motorsports, accumulating 207 starts. He also competed in the NASCAR Cup Series for three seasons and made occasional starts in the NASCAR Truck Series. His four career wins all came in the Xfinity Series.[1]

Over his career, Sorenson took four wins and eighteen podiums across 276 starts. The bulk of his racing was on oval circuits; he ran 198 of 207 Xfinity starts on ovals, with road-course appearances filling the remainder. His most sustained run came in the Xfinity Series, where he completed a full 2004-to-2017 tenure. His NASCAR Cup Series effort ran from 2018 to 2020 and proved less fruitful, yielding no wins from 58 starts across that span. Fifty-six of those fifty-eight Cup starts came on ovals. In his final indexed season, 2017, he finished forty-second in the Xfinity points standings across eight rounds.[2]

Sorenson spent ninety-one of his starts driving for Chip Ganassi Racing, an established team that fielded twenty-eight drivers across the index and took twenty-one wins. He competed regularly against established professionals including Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick, both multi-championship winners in multiple NASCAR series; he typically finished behind both. He occasionally beat elite-level drivers such as Denny Hamlin and Ryan Blaney, though these victories came in the context of mixed fields where amateur and semi-professional entrants raced alongside graded professionals. After retiring from competition, he moved into work as a spotter.
