Thomas Nordquist is an American racing driver currently competing in the USF Juniors Championship with DEForce Racing. Born on February 6, 2004, in New York City, he now resides in Omaha, Nebraska. Coming from a family DEEPLY ROOTED IN MOTORSPORTS—HIS GREAT-GRANDFATHER AND GRANDFATHER WERE BOTH AUTO MECHANICS AND SEVERAL OF HIS RELATIVES ARE INVOLVED IN VARIOUS FORMS OF RACING—NORDQUIST DEVELOPED A PASSION FOR THE SPORT AT AN EARLY AGE.

 In 2024, Nordquist participated in the Skip Barber Formula Race Series, finishing eighth overall with three top-five finishes, including TWO  3RD PLACE PODIUM FINISHES AT NOLA MOTORSPORTS PARK & LIMEROCK, He also recorded the fastest race lap at Circuit of The Americas. ​

THOMAS JOINED DEFORCE RACING, INDIANAPOLIS TO MOVE INTO THE USF PRO “ROAD TO INDY” SERIES. GIVEN HIS RELATIVELY SHORT EXPOSURE TO OPEN WHEEL COMPARED TO HIS COMPETITORS, THOMAS COMPETED IN THE 24-25’ YACADEMY SERIES AND HAD AN 11TH PLACE FINISH.  HE IS CURRENTLY COMPETING IN THE USFPRO JUNIORS SERIES.

BEYOND RACING, NORDQUIST HAS DEDICATED HIMSELF TO PHILANTHROPY, WORKING ALONG SIDE HIS FATHER, AN ONCOLOGIST, IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER.  AFTER SUMMITTING MT KILIMANJARO IN 2020, THOMAS WAS INSPIRED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THAT REGION’S BATTLE AGAINST CANCER.  THROUGH HIS EFFORTS, THOMAS RAISED OVER $250,000 TO FUND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 100-PATIENT HOUSING FACILITY AT THE KILIMANJARO CHRISTIAN MEDICAL CENTER; A FACILITY THAT NOW PROUDLY BEARS THE HIS NAME.

In his leisure time, Nordquist enjoys sim-racing, working on his 1993 Toyota Supra RZ, and playing basketball. He is also a sophomore at the University of Nebraska Omaha's College of Business. ​
