🇺🇸 Aristotle Balogh

Aristotle Balogh is a professional racing driver competing in national endurance and sprint series in the United States. His primary focus is multiclass endurance racing, where he shares cars with co-drivers in mixed-class fields that include amateurs and professionals alongside graded drivers. He holds an FIA Bronze licence, the amateur grade in endurance racing. His recent activity includes entries in the IMSA AirBNB Endurance Challenge and Zenith Racing Series for 2026, racing production-based and prototype machinery.[1]

Across twelve seasons since 2014, Balogh has accumulated 145 starts and three wins. His record spans multiple series: a long tenure in NASA regional racing with two wins and sixteen podiums from sixty-five starts; significant running in IMSA's national series, including the Pilot Challenge, Prototype Challenge, WeatherTech and most recently the AirBNB Endurance Challenge, where he has taken six podiums from eleven starts; and endurance campaigns in American Endurance Racing and international competition through Le Mans Cup. In the current Zenith Racing Series season, he sits fourteenth in the championship standings so far with three rounds completed.[2]

His most regular competitors are entry-level professionals: Eric Foss, a 2017 IMSA Pilot Challenge ST champion with seventy-four starts in that series, and James Clay, the 2023 GT4 America Am champion, with whom Balogh races closely matched. He has finished ahead of Chase Briscoe, an elite professional and 2016 ARCA Menards Series champion with extensive NASCAR experience across Cup, Xfinity and Truck series, on four occasions, and ahead of Austin Cindric, an established professional with dual 2020 and 2021 NASCAR Xfinity titles and substantial Cup Series running, twice in their meetings.
