Mike Senica

Michael Senica (born April 26, 1966), also known by his ring name Mike Flyte, is an American professional stock car racing driver and professional wrestler.

Racing career Senica competed in Formula Ford racing in the mid 1990s; he was mentored by former Indy 500 Dennis Vitolo to acquire sponsors to support his racing efforts. He attended the Fast-Track Racing School in 2005 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and earned his ARCA license; he made his debut in the ARCA Racing Series in 2010, driving for Peterson Motorsports at Mansfield Motorsports Speedway, finishing 30th in his debut. He competed in five additional races between 2010 and 2012, posting a best finish of 30th in his debut at Mansfield, and finishing tied for 87th in points in 2012 for his best points finish.

In 2013, Senica moved to the ARCA Truck Series, driving for Team Wilson Driver Development as a teammate to Devin Moran, and Bobby Dale Earnhardt. In August, he joined Mike Harmon Racing as a development driver, planning to make his NASCAR debut in the Camping World Truck Series later that season. Senica's best finish was tenth place at Lake County Speedway on October 13 driving for Spear Motorsports.

In December 2014, Team Stange Racing announced that Senica joined their team in 2015 and competed in the NASCAR K&N Series in select races starting at New Smyrna Speedway during NASCAR's Speedweeks in Daytona Beach. The New Symrna start never happened but Senica did make three starts with the team. Later in the year, he made a start with Spraker Racing, at Richmond. Senica later signed on with LaCross Motorsports. Senica ran in the Super Cup Stock Car Series with LaCross Motorsports.Senica finished 15th in the points in the Super Cup Series. He ran in the ARCA Truck Series at Jennerstown Speedway on September 13 and finished in tenth place for SPEAR Motorsports.

On January 17, 2016, Senica tested for Wayne Peterson Racing at the Daytona International Speedway in the ARCA Series. It was announced on March 8 that Senica has a return set to the ARCA Racing Series at Nashville Speedway with Wayne Peterson Racing. After the Nashville race, he signed with Hixson Motorsports. In ten races, Senica crashed out of one, was parked for being too slow in two others, start and parked in six and ran one full race at Kentucky. He finished 20th in points having competed in 11 of the season's 20 races.

In 2017, Senica continued his part-time ARCA schedule for Hixson Motorsports. Senica announced on May 24 that he would be driving the No. 83 Chevrolet Silverado for Copp Motorsports in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Iowa on June 23. He started last and went on to finish in 21st; however, he was parked for being too slow in the race. Senica then moved over to Norm Benning Racing where he attempted eleven races, failing to qualify for two and start and parking in the other nine, never making it more than eight laps. He attempted six ARCA races for Hixson, finishing 23rd at Daytona, four laps down. He then start and parked for three races and was parked during the Chicagoland race for being too slow, similar to the Truck Series. After failing to qualify for the Winchester race due to ARCA's minimum speed rule, Senica posted on Twitter to criticize the rule change.

In March 2018, Senica was running for TJL Motorsports at Martinsville Speedway in the Truck Series when after eight laps, Truck Series competition director David Hoots radioed for Senica to be parked for going too slow. Senica disregarded the order and stayed on the track, drawing a black flag, indicating that NASCAR would no longer be scoring his truck. A few laps later, he stalled the truck at the backstretch entrance to the garage, causing a caution (that eventually turned into a red flag because of weather conditions that were incoming). The incident led to him, team owner Tracy Lowe and crew chief William Guinade being called to the NASCAR hauler after the race was postponed for weather. The next morning, Senica called out journalist Chris Knight (who had previously posted tweets critical of Senica because of a concern for the other drivers) on Twitter by alleging that Knight was trying to "boost his ratings" and "abusing" free speech while also asking if Knight had ever driven a stock car. Although absent from the NASCAR scene in summer 2018, Senica ran the occasional late model race at Mahoning Speedway, finishing near the rear of the field.

On January 8, 2019, Senica announced a partial Truck slate with Copp Motorsports in 2019, though this was later denied by team owner DJ Copp. It was later revealed that Senica was only eligible to compete at Eldora Speedway.

In 2022 Senica has been running in the Super Cup Stock Car Series, racing for Ashton Motorsports and teaming up with Rob Jones. The pair operates RAM Racing.

Senica finished seventh in the Super Cup Stock Car Series driver points for the 2022 season.

Senica raced in the Super Cup Series in 2023 where he collected a ninth place in the final driver points.

Senica participated in a few races during the 2024 Super Cup Series and collected a fourth place in overall driver standings. His best finish was third place at Shenandoah and Lonesome Pine Speedways.
