Doesn't seem to meet WP:NMOTORSPORT criteria and no indication that general notability guidelines met. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 21:49, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – WP:NSPORTS implies that the Trans-Am series carries some notability, but the article doesn't indicate that this driver raced in that series. I can't find any evidence that he ever raced in a notable series, and the article itself is terrible; it reads like a press release. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 00:13, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As noted, participation in Trans-Am could infer notability - but he hasn't competed in that. And (despite the horrendous disambiguation) the vast majority of other SCCA-sanctioned series are not professional at all. Maybe in 2014 with that Caddy they're talking about he might get notability, but right now this isn't notable, smells like a press release, and might well be copyvio as a cut-and-paste of such. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:48, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
