Brendan Puderbach holds a Racer Rating of 2,962, placing him in the competitive amateur band; this represents a driver racing at the front of club-level competition or the entry end of professional fields, quick enough to compete regularly but not yet established among full-time professionals.[1]
Puderbach's racing record consists of a single season in the 2017 Pro Mazda Championship, where he started ten times for FatBoy Racing but finished outside the points throughout, recording an average finishing position of P11.6. His campaign ran against a field that included Victor Franzoni, who would go on to win that year's Pro Mazda title, and Sting Ray Robb, later a Gold-graded driver and 2020 Indy Pro 2000 champion. Puderbach finished behind both drivers in all ten shared races. He showed occasional promise against drivers at the semi-professional level; he outran FIA Silver driver TJ Fischer twice across their ten meetings and scored isolated results ahead of other Silver-graded competitors including Max Hanratty, Kris Wright and Robert Megennis, but these proved exceptions rather than patterns within a season that saw him consistently outpaced by the field.
Puderbach has since retired from racing, with no record of activity beyond 2017.
