Tom Nastasi was a semi-professional driver who competed primarily in the Star Mazda Championship between 2002 and 2004, recording 20 starts without a win or podium finish. His rating of 3,745 places him at the semi-professional level, where drivers typically compete in pro-am and single-make series and run mid-pack among full professionals. Nastasi's career in Star Mazda saw him finish on average in 15th position, well behind the championship contenders in a field that included multiple drivers of substantially higher calibre.[1]
Nastasi's record against the top rivals in his primary series underscores this standing. He finished behind the 2002 Star Mazda champion Moses Smith in 18 of 20 shared races, and behind the 2003 champion Luis Schiavo in 14 of 16 shared races. His competitive peers were semi-professional drivers like Dan Weyland and Steve Cook, each rated around 2,500 to 2,800, against whom he had mixed results. The single instances in which Nastasi finished ahead of much stronger drivers such as FIA Platinum-graded Scott Speed, FIA Gold-graded Michael McDowell, and semi-professional Marco Andretti represent isolated results rather than a pattern of competitiveness at that level. He raced for Blackforest Motorsports, a team that fielded him in six starts and recorded no wins across its indexed history. Nastasi retired after 2004 and has not returned to racing.
