Ethan Alexander (born May 15, 2007) is a young, American racing driver. He has raced in karting clubs and has progressed to race cars on the big tracks.

 Family Background 

Ethan is the only child of married parents, Linda and Mike Alexander. Mike is well known in the racing circuit as a SCCA Champion driver, racing instructor and retired owner of vintage racing business, Alexander's Motorsports. As of 2023, the family resides in Grafton, Wisconsin. Ethan is one of the youngest graduates of the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) Driver's School.

 Racing Career Ethan's racing career started at the age of 8 with the help of his father and support from racing friends. He obtained his first go-kart and began racing in the Road America Karting Club in 2015. After earning several karting championships, Ethan made the move to road racing in 2022.

His inaugural road race at Blackhawk Farms in April of 2022, started with incredible promise as the young racer was at the front of the pack. Unfortunately, it ended with a fuel leak and total loss of the car. With great gratitude, Ethan was able to walk away from the flames physically unscathed.

While his first car was being completely rebuilt, Ethan received a vintage P2 race car that enabled him to get back on the track. Late in summer of 2022, Ethan raced in his first vintage race at Road America in the rain and earned his first class win! Ethan serves as a mentor for drivers younger than himself and continues to push for more people to join the sport of speed.
