William Shields races single-driver Spec Racer Ford sports cars in SCCA Regionals and Majors, two national multiclass sprint championships run in the United States. He competes at developing level, with a rating of 1,269. His primary machinery is the one-design SRF3 class, in which he has raced since 2021.[1]

Across six seasons from 2021 to 2026, Shields has taken 62 starts in SCCA competition and in SVRA, winning three times and podiuming thirteen. In SCCA Regionals, his most frequent series, he has won twice in 47 starts. His 2024 SVRA campaign yielded one win and two podiums across two rounds, placing him 17th in the championship standings. He has raced the SCCA Majors, a larger multiclass grid, thirteen times since 2021 without wins.[2]

Shields typically finishes ahead of Steven Nelson, a regular developing-level opponent in Regionals with 41 starts there, and runs closely matched with Chris Brassard, another developing driver with comparable experience. He has beaten Brian Schofield once; Schofield is an entry-level professional and 2025 SCCA Majors SRF3 champion with 56 Majors starts. He has also finished ahead of Judson Holt, a semi-professional with significant multiclass experience across SCCA Majors, Regionals and GT4 America, twice in their meetings.
