John Mickel (born January 28, 1971, in Cambridge, England), is a stock car racer and commentator. He has raced in ASCAR,NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and Pickup Truck Racing with TorqueSpeed. He is also a color commentator for Sky Sports' coverage of NASCAR racing.

Career

Mickel, a second-generation driver, began racing at the age of ten in Mini Stocks and won his first championship two years later. He soon moved to Superstox where he was named both World and European champion. He joined the SCSA-Europe tour in its inaugural year in 2001, where he won the series' first championship.

In 2002, he began racing part-time in the United States. After failing to qualify for two races in the Craftsman Truck Series, he began racing in the American Speed Association in 2004. He also planned to drive the 66 car part-time for Travis Carter Motorsports in the NEXTEL Cup Series that season, but the deal fell through. In 2005, he made his NASCAR debut in the Truck Series at Texas Motor Speedway, driving the #4 Dodge Ram for Bobby Hamilton Racing, starting 35th and finishing 29th. The next season, he ran the final five races of the Truck Series schedule leasing owner's points and equipment from the #07 Green Light Racing Chevrolet. His best finish was 20th at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

He was scheduled to run with Green Light full-time in 2007, but instead Tim Sauter got the ride. During testing at Daytona International Speedway, SPEED Channel had reported that Mickel will bring sponsorship to the #63 MB Motorsports ride, allowing him to run the full season, but that never came to happen.

For 2008, Mickel will be racing in selected rounds of the UK Pickup Truck Racing series. He has purchased the multi-race winning truck of Paul Poulter.
