🇺🇸 Reed Sorenson

Reed Sorenson is a retired professional stock car driver who raced in NASCAR's national series from 2004 to 2020. He competed primarily in the NASCAR Xfinity Series over thirteen seasons with JD Motorsports, a single-class national championship run on ovals and occasional road courses. He also made fifty-eight Cup Series starts between 2018 and 2020, nearly all on ovals, and eleven Truck Series outings. His career rating of 3,700 places him at entry-level professional.[1]

Across his 276 starts Sorenson took four wins and eighteen podiums, all in the Xfinity Series. His most sustained success came in Xfinity, where he ran from 2004 through 2017 with 207 starts and finished forty-second in championship points in his final season. He competed against established professionals throughout his career; Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick, both multi-time champions with vastly longer resumes in the same series, were regular opponents and typically finished ahead of him. Sorenson finished ahead of Denny Hamlin, an elite professional and current Cup Series champion, forty-three times across their overlaps, and beat Ryan Blaney, another elite professional, seven times.[2]

Sorenson raced for Chip Ganassi Racing in ninety-one starts, an operation that fielded twenty-eight drivers across the indexed record and won twenty-one races; the team's strongest driver by rating was Scott Dixon, an established professional. Most of Sorenson's grid competition consisted of professionals and semi-professionals, many of whom accumulated far more starts than he did. He finished his Cup Series career part-time with Premium Motorsports and Spire Motorsports before moving into a spotter role at the professional level, where he continues to work as of 2025.
