Sam Yeager is a retired club-level racer with a Racer Rating of 639, placing him at the developing end of competitive club racing; drivers at this level typically run at the back of club fields or have too few races on record to demonstrate consistent speed. Yeager raced Mazda Miatas in NASA competition between 2011 and 2013, accumulating twelve starts across three seasons without a win or podium finish. His average finishing position of P20.3 reflects consistent mid-field or backmarker results in fields of modest calibre.[1]
Yeager's head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals tells a clear story of outpacing. He finished ahead of 2011 NASA Spec Miata champion Justin Hille twice in twelve shared races but trailed him ten times. Against Jonathan Davis, who won the 2016 NASA Spec Miata championship, Yeager lost all twelve meetings. He also ceded results to Christopher Williams, who would go on to win multiple NASA Spec titles, finishing ahead only once in twelve races. These records show Yeager racing alongside developing and semi-professional drivers, matching or occasionally beating some but typically running behind the strongest competitors in his field. He has not raced since 2013.
