About James

Racing is in
his blood

Growing up watching his dad race, James fell in love with motorsport at age five when he started racing go-karts at Road America Motorplex. By the time he could legally drive, he was competing in SCCA Central Division events — and winning.

Over the past decade, James has raced in the American Le Mans Series, Indy Lights, NASCAR Xfinity, and IMSA — earning victories at some of the world's most legendary circuits.
