Sam Mayer is an 18-year old phenom who, after winning the ARCA Menard’s Series championship in 2019 and 2020, and the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East championship in 2019, burst onto the NASCAR scene winning his first Truck Series race in only his seventh start, at Bristol Motor Speedway in the fall of 2020.

Mayer’s 2019 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East championship made him the youngest driver at the time to ever score a NASCAR championship at the age of 16, three months and eight days.

Upon turning 18 in June of 2021, Mayer joined JR Motorsports to drive the No. 8 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

Mayer’s 2021 consisted of 18 races in the Xfinity Series, five in the Truck Series, five in the ARCA Series, and five in the Trans Am Series. Over the 33 combined events, Mayer scored three wins (Trans-Am), eight top-five and 16 top-10 finishes. 

In 2023, Mayer will team with crew chief Mardy Lindley to pilot the No. 1 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports. Accelerate Professional Talent Solutions is a proud sponsor of Sam Mayer as he competes for the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship.
