Rob Bunker is an entry-level professional competing in solo sprint racing in a national-level single-class championship. He raced for Velocity Motorsports in the Star Mazda Championship across 2006 and 2007, a field that mixed amateur and semi-professional entrants with graded professionals. His indexed career runs to 13 starts over two seasons.[1]
Bunker took one podium finish in Star Mazda during that span. He finished 23rd in the championship standings in 2007, his final season of indexed racing; he also contested sprint car racing part-time in 2008 before retiring from the sport.[2]
In the Star Mazda field he raced Charles Anti consistently and usually finished ahead of him; he regularly ran behind Ron White, who had experience beyond Star Mazda in sprint-car racing. Among the stronger drivers in the series, Bunker outfinished John Pew, a Silver-graded professional with 25 Star Mazda starts, on five occasions. His single podium came in a field that included established professionals and champions, though his limited number of top-three finishes and his final standing reflected competition at a level where he was a mid-pack regular.
