Career
Thompson drives for a team largely sponsored by his family's business, Thompson Pipe Group, giving him a funding base that has secured back-to-back full-time seasons with Sam Hunt Racing. The California native arrived at the national level without the typical multi-year buildup at lower rungs, making 2026 a critical development year as he builds race-by-race experience at one of the sport's most demanding levels.
