Bill Wright brings over five decades of motorsports experience to the Rush SR grid. From motorcycles to karts to sports cars, his journey through racing has touched nearly every corner of the sport—including building one of the world’s most prestigious karting series.
Wright’s motorsports career began in 1970 when he started riding and racing motorcycles, a passion he pursued until 1987. He transitioned to four wheels in the early ’90s, competing in SCCA Solo II events including National Championships from 1990-1994. During those eras, he also crewed for Sports Racing and Mazda MX-5 Cup teams, a role he continued through 2015.
His biggest impact on Motorsport came through karting. Wright was a competitor at the national level from 1994-2009. He founded Formula Kart Productions and launched the Florida Winter Tour in 1999. Under his leadership, the FWT grew into the world’s largest Rotax Max Challenge karting series, in one year attracting 469 unique drivers from 32 countries across six continents. For 15 of its 16 years under his ownership, the series set new participation records. He sold the FWT to MAXSpeed Entertainment in August 2014, leaving behind a legacy that continues to shape professional karting.
Wright also created the Dan Wheldon Karting Ambassador Award to honor the memory of the beloved IndyCar champion and inspire others to embody Wheldon’s spirit of sportsmanship and professionalism.
Formal training at Skip Barber’s three-day racing school at Laguna Seca (2004) and a two-day advanced program at Mont Tremblant (2005) sharpened his skills for wheel-to-wheel competition. After a Chin Motorsports HPDE Spec Miata event in 2013 and test-driving the Rush SR prototype in February 2022, Wright took delivery of Chassis #58 in August 2022.
Now competing in the GridLife Rush SR National Series, Wright brings a rare combination of driving ability, race craft, and deep industry knowledge to every event. Few drivers on any grid can match his half-century of hands-on motorsports experience.

Known as “The Rainmaker,” Nico Bratz has quickly become one of the most exciting drivers in the Rush SR paddock. After a limited 2024 campaign—just 2 starts netting 2 podiums and P27 in points—Nico went all-in for 2025.
The results speak for themselves: P3 in the championship, 8 podiums, and consistent top-5 finishes across 21 starts. At the South Carolina opener, he kept Ryan Leach honest through a final-lap battle. At Road America’s Summer Apex Festival, he fought his way to a podium finish in a wild 5-car fight for the lead.
Nico’s combination of raw speed and racecraft has made him a fan favorite and a threat to win every time he takes the green flag.
