Rick Mast was a professional oval-track racer who spent twelve seasons in NASCAR Xfinity between 1982 and 1998, driving for a competitive field that mixed amateurs with established professionals. He accumulated 243 starts across the series, nearly all of them on ovals, and finished his career in 1998.[1]

Over his dozen seasons, Mast took nine wins and nineteen podiums. He raced regularly against Jack Ingram, a two-time Xfinity champion, and finished behind him more often than ahead; he was closely matched with Tommy Houston, another entry-level professional with substantial Xfinity experience. His strongest finishes came against drivers who moved to higher levels of stock car racing; he finished ahead of Elliott Sadler, an established professional, once, and beat Jeff Gordon, a Gold-graded driver who went on to become an elite professional, six times across Gordon's limited Xfinity starts.[2]
