Dominic Starkweather is a 22 year old race car driver from Cave Creek, AZ who is competing in his fourth season of world class professional racing, now in the 2024 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge series and Lamborghini Super Trofeo.

 

Dominic’s rise to a world class level of professional sports car racing has come fast, but the seeds were planted at an early age when he received a dirt bike for his 10th birthday. He quickly fell in love with speed and his passion for motorsports grew. Dominic then started building go karts and his dream of being a professional driver was born. Dominic’s first driving experience came from track days. He proceeded racing after that. He began his amateur racing career in SCCA where he rapidly began winning races, lots of them. Dominic soon proved to be a championship caliber driver, winning the 2020 SCCA US Major Tour Western Conference and SCCA Cal Club titles. His professional career launched in 2021 when he won his pro debut in SRO GT America. In 2023, he burst into IMSA and took home a podium in his first Lamborghini Super Trofeo Race. He made his IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge debut at this year’s weekend of the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

 

Off track, Dominic is committed to his craft, training at a high performance facility in Scottsdale to stay in peak physical fitness. A dedicated instructor, he kicked off coaching at a local racing school and moved into private coaching. He has also invested countless service hours in his community, leading two service trips to Mexico to build houses for the homeless, and has, additionally, volunteered with organizations such as St. Vincent DePaul and St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
