NASCAR API – Driver Profile Endpoint

We've added a Driver Profile endpoint to our NASCAR API.

This RESTful endpoint provides biographical information and season-by-season statistics for a driver, with results broken down by individual race.

⭐ Benefit

Use the new endpoint to retrieve a driver's biographical details and season-by-season statistics, including race-by-race results.

📋 Recommended Actions

Call the Driver Profile endpoint with a driver_id to retrieve biographical details, season statistics, and race-by-race results.
Use the nested seasons → results structure to build driver profile pages or season/race performance views.
Account for biographical fields that may be empty or unpopulated for some drivers (e.g., residence).
