Steve Scheifler is a club-level driver whose rating of 1,217 places him in the developing category; this describes drivers at the back of club racing fields or those with too few races to have established themselves more firmly. His professional record spans two seasons in NASA competition between 2008 and 2009, with five starts across which he recorded one win and three podium finishes. This modest tally came against a field of predominantly amateur and semi-professional competitors, with an average finishing position of P3.2 suggesting consistent mid-field performance when classified.[1]
Scheifler finished ahead of David Spencer in all five shared races, a clear pattern of superiority over that rival. Against stronger competition he achieved isolated results; he beat Christopher Williams, a multiple NASA champion, on two occasions and John Guthrie twice as well, though these victories were not sustained across multiple meetings. In head-to-head competition against Brian Murdick, Scheifler finished behind him twice in three races, indicating that Murdick held the upper hand in their rivalry. His strongest performance came in 2009, when he secured one win and two podiums across three rounds in NASA competition before the classification finished him P51 for that season.
Scheifler retired from racing after 2009 and has not competed since. His career was amateur in nature, focused on club-level series competition, and his record does not extend beyond the entry level of organised motorsport.
