Art Kurshudian raced in NASA, a national multiclass endurance series, between 2014 and 2017. He drove a BMW E36 M3 in the GTS2 and GTS3 classes, which run German production machinery shared across multiple competitors. His four seasons on record yielded 28 starts and seven podiums, placing him at a developing level in a field that ranged from amateurs to graded professionals.[1]
Kurshudian's best finish came in 2017, when he took one podium across four rounds and ended the season 27th in the championship standings. Over his full career he was closely matched with Thomas Michael, another developing driver in the series, while trailing Richard Bosco in most meetings. His single notable result against stronger opposition came when he finished ahead of Eric Foss, an entry-level professional and 2017 IMSA Pilot Challenge ST champion, once across their meetings in NASA.[2]
