About Sam Mayer
Sam Mayer was winning national races before he could vote: the Franklin, Wisconsin prodigy won a Craftsman Truck Series race at Bristol in 2020 at age 17, and the precocity was no illusion. Mayer has piled up 10 wins across 110 career starts, with 40 top-fives and 5 poles along the way. His 2023 season in the second-tier series was the breakout, a four-win campaign that showcased his road-course fluency: Road America, Watkins Glen, and the Charlotte Roval all fell to him, along with Homestead-Miami. He doubled down in 2024 with victories at Texas, Iowa, and the Roval again, then made it back-to-back Iowa wins in 2025. Now piloting the No. 41 Chevrolet for Haas Factory Team, Mayer brings a rare combination for a young driver: legitimate right-turn craft plus the oval consistency reflected in a career average finish around 12th. The step to Cup contention is the hardest one in racing, but drivers who win everywhere they stop tend to keep stopping higher up the ladder.
