🏳️ Richard Row

Richard Row was a club-level racer competing between 2010 and 2016. His rating of 622 places him in the developing category, reflecting a racing career built on regional competition rather than the professional and semi-professional fields. Over six seasons he contested 30 races in NASA, all in a BMW 325is, accumulating no wins or podium finishes and averaging a finishing position of 12th place among classified starters.[1]

Row's competitive record shows him consistently outpaced by the regular field. Among his most frequent rivals were drivers rated between 1,000 and 1,500; against these club-level competitors, Row finished behind them far more often than ahead. His head-to-head records against Bennett McMicking, Scott Neville, Derek Welch, and others were decisively negative, with only occasional results where he finished in front. His most notable achievements came in rare instances where he finished ahead of stronger drivers such as Aristotle Balogh and Sean Quinlan, both bronze-graded professionals rated substantially higher; these isolated results were exceptions to the pattern of his racing level rather than evidence of competitive strength.

Row's final season in 2016 saw him classified in only two rounds and finish 107th in the results, marking the end of his racing career. He remains associated with team 141865, which recorded no race wins across the index with two drivers; Row was the team's stronger entry relative to his teammate Rick Row.
