Career

Guthrie began his karting career at the age of eight. He won an IKF championship in 2002 and the SKUSA Long Track Nationals in 2003 and moved up to cars in SCCA Formula Ford in 2004. In 2005, he moved up to the Star Mazda Series and finished fourteenth in points in a season beset by mechanical problems. The team, owned by his father, decided to move up to the Indy Pro Series in 2006, but Sean was forced to miss the first three races of the season as he was not yet the league-mandated eighteen years old. He competed in five races with a best finish of fifth at Kentucky Speedway. The team returned for 2007 for a full season. After crashing out of the first three races of the season, the team regrouped and finished the Freedom 100 and Sean registered a career-best fourth place finish at the Milwaukee Mile a week later. He made his return to the Firestone Indy Lights Series on October 9, 2009, at Homestead with Andersen Racing. After participating in dirt track racing throughout 2010, Guthrie again returned to Indy Lights for the season finale at Homestead with Andersen, finishing tenth.

After driving in drifting for the 2011 season, Guthrie returned to professional motorsports in 2012, driving in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West at Sandia Motor Speedway in late September, finishing 22nd and last in his debut in the series.
