🏳️ Zach Dayton

Zach Dayton is a club-level driver racing in his first season of competition. He competes in NASA's Spec E30 class, piloting a spec BMW E30 3-series in a national multiclass sprint championship, and has made two starts in the ChampCar Endurance Series' EC class, driving a budget production BMW 330i shared with other drivers for Warriors in Motion.[1]

Across 22 starts in 2026, Dayton has taken two podiums, both from his 20 NASA rounds to date. He currently sits 13th in the NASA championship standings with more rounds still to come. In his limited endurance racing, he has two starts in the ChampCar field but no finishes recorded there yet.[2]

Dayton typically finishes behind the established regulars he races most often; Jason Griscavage, a competitive amateur with 150 NASA starts to his name, and Garrett Manes, a semi-professional who has raced 37 rounds in NASA, are both drivers he encounters regularly and usually runs behind. He has finished ahead of Manes on two occasions and once outfinished Amilio DiLauro, a competitive amateur. The Spec E30 grid includes drivers across amateur and semi-professional ranks within the same multiclass structure where Dayton competes alongside graded professionals.
