Nicholas "Nicky" Hays (born September 24, 2001) is an American racing driver. He currently competes in the U.S. F2000 National Championship with Cape Motorsports.[1]
Racing career[edit]
Lower formulae[edit]
In 2018 Hays made his single-seater debut in the F1600 Championship Series.[2]
In 2019 he competed in the French F4 Championship. He took his first race win at Circuit de Lédenon and finished the season in third only behind champion Hadrien David and runner-up Reshad de Gerus.[2][3] That year he also competed in some rounds of the Formula 4 United States Championship for DC Autosport with Cape Motorsports. He finished ninth in the standings with two podiums.[2]
Formula Regional[edit]
In 2020 he competed in the Formula Regional Americas Championship for Global Racing Group.[2] He scored two podiums and finished the season in fourth.
U.S. F2000 National Championship[edit]
On February 11, 2022, it was announced that Hays would compete in the U.S. F2000 National Championship with Cape Motorsports for the 2022 season.[4] His season went pretty poorly, being consistently beaten by his teammates Michael d'Orlando, and Jagger Jones, with d'Orlando winning the championship. On the other hand, he would consistently beat teammate Jackson Lee throughout the season, before Lee had to leave the team after the Mid-Ohio round. In the Portland round, Hays finally found his form, picking up consecutive second place finishes in the final two rounds, bringing home enough points to jump up to seventh place in the final championship standings with 235 points.
Indy NXT[edit]
Hays took part in the 2022 Chris Griffis Memorial Test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, driving for Abel Motorsports alongside Jack William Miller.[5] He would finish the day 14th out of the 16 drivers, ending up behind his teammate and 0.933 seconds behind leader Danial Frost.[6]
