John Potter has rigorously competed in various amateur and professional series, displaying his versatility and dedication through numerous podium finishes. John pursued his full-time career in racing after attending Lehigh University, where he graduated with degrees in Economics and Political Science. Originally from St. Louis, John moved to Salt Lake City to embark on an ambitious Porsche race project and take advantage of the new Miller Motorsports Park.

Throughout his career, Potter has competed on 23 road courses throughout the US and Canada. He started with Skip Barber Racing Schools and Series and quickly progressed through the ranks in their RT2000 formula cars. He took 5th Place overall and 1st in Class in the 2006 Skip Barber Race Series Southern Championship. He improved in 2007, finishing the season 4th overall in the 2007 Eastern Championship. Throughout 2008, he continues his driver development in the Skip Barber Southern and Eastern series'.

Building on his Skip Barber experience, in 2006 he pursued his ultimate goal to develop and compete in GT cars by founding Magnus Racing, a private racing team. Through Magnus Racing he gained valuable experience in various race cars. Potter began his GT racing career with the Porsche Club of America, and continued on with additional competitions at Miller Motorsports Park. Pursuing new levels of competition, he entered several races in California with the Porsche Owners Club in 2007 and 2008. Competing in 964, 993, 996, and 997 model Porsches, Mustang GTs, and an MX5 Miata, he has successfully proven he can race anything with wheels.

Potter continued his club racing successes and grew to compete at the professional level in the Grand Am Rolex Series in 2007. He ran in the Rolex Series with the multi-championship winning team, The Racers Group (TRG), at the Six Hours at the Glen at Watkins Glen, NY in June. John joined with TRG again at MMP, for the Sunchaser 1000 in September. With a strong 12th Place in the 1000 kilometer race, John finished first amongst local competitors, beating many professional drivers. Without a doubt, 2007 was an important and winning year for John Potter. He competed in 56 races during the year, finding great success regardless of the car he drove.

In 2008 Potter continues his racing career with the Grand-Am Rolex Sportscar Series GT Class. He can be seen teaming with TRG for the Lime Rock GT Classic, and with Farnbacher Loles for the Watkins Glen 6-hour race. He again teams with TRG in the Porsche 250 at Barber Motorsports Park, and is scheduled to compete at the New Jersey Motorsports Park in late August. Potter returns home to compete in the Sunchaser 1000 at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.

After completing his first full season in Grand-American racing in 2009, including his first career victory, 2010 John will see John competing in his first season as a team owner. Running in his second full season with co-driver and 2005 Rolex Series champion Craig Stanton, the duo look to be an incredibly strong force during the season. 

In addition, John comes with a strong business acumen and understanding of client entertainment, client service, and forging business to business relationships. As both a talented driver on the track and a an astute businessman off the track, the combination of John, Craig, and their very experienced support staff will be a dominant force in 2010.

John enjoys long fast walks on the beach, has a special love for St. Louis teams and products, and hates home maintenance, with the exception of making space for new trophies.
