🇺🇸 Richard Haskell

Richard Haskell is a semi-professional driver, rated 3,170, who competed in three seasons of single-seater racing between 2004 and 2006. His career comprised 16 starts in the Star Mazda Championship, all as an independent driver, without recording a win or podium finish. He averaged a finishing position of P26.6 across classified starts, indicating consistent mid-field running that rarely reached the sharp end of the grids he contested.[1]

Haskell's record against his regular rivals shows a driver outpaced by the stronger competitors in his field. Against Ryan Justice, John Faulkner, and Jon Brownson, he finished behind them in the majority of their shared races, with head-to-head records of 6-10, 3-13, and 3-12 respectively. He held more competitive margins against lower-rated drivers such as Dan Tomlin Jr. and Doug Peterson, though still finished behind both more often than ahead. His single victories against stronger drivers, one each against Graham Rahal, Jonathan Bomarito, Bryan Sellers, and Colin Braun, represent isolated results rather than any pattern of competitiveness at that level, given that these drivers were in their early careers or competing outside their primary disciplines.

Haskell's three-year tenure in Star Mazda ended in 2006. His competitive standing within the semi-professional ranks was middling, neither commanding the lower tiers of his field nor establishing a foothold among its leaders.
