🏳️ Tony Senese

Tony Senese races in NASA, a national multiclass championship where amateur and professional drivers share the track across fifteen classes. He competes in Spec Miata, driving a spec Mazda MX-5, and has been active in the series since 2006. He races for a team that has fielded 125 drivers and won 83 races, its strongest driver at entry-level professional standard.[1]

Across twenty seasons and 236 starts in NASA, Senese has taken three wins and nineteen podiums. He finished 94th in the 2026 championship standings with ten rounds completed and the season still in progress. His record places him among the developing drivers on the grid; he has spent twenty years racing at club and semi-professional level without advancing to a higher-ranked series. His wins have come against a field that regularly includes drivers trying lower formulas or returning to club racing after professional careers, though he has finished ahead of a NASCAR Xfinity and Truck Series regular once and an Indy NXT champion once in their respective NASA appearances.[2]

The field in Spec Miata regularly brings together semi-professional drivers and established amateurs with occasional appearances from professional competitors testing or campaigning in the class. Senese runs closely matched against Richard Lucquet and Laura Braverman, both developing drivers like himself with comparable NASA experience and tenure in the series. His two decades in the same championship, without a title or progression to a national or international single-seater series, defines a career spent entirely within club racing.
