Shawn Sampson races single-driver and shared-car motorsport in national multiclass championships in the United States. His indexed record spans NASA's production-car classes from 2009 to 2013, where he drove a Mazda Miata in Spec Miata trim, and the World Racing League since 2026, where he shares a production-based car in the GP1 class for Sampson Racing Communications. He is a developing-level driver with a rating of 1,054.[1]
Across eight NASA starts, Sampson took two wins and finished on the podium twice. He has since joined the World Racing League, where he has made three starts so far this season and currently sits 27th in the championship standings with more rounds ahead.[2]
The drivers he races most regularly are Sean Douglass, a NASA regular, and Ryan Ellis, an entry-level professional with experience in NASCAR Xfinity and the Truck Series alongside his NASA starts; Sampson typically finishes behind both. His scalp includes semi-professional drivers Nik Romano and Colin Garrett, the latter a 2023 TC America champion and FIA Silver-graded, though he has beaten each only once across their meetings.
