Brian Palazzo is a developing driver with a rating of 495, competing in club and regional racing. He has accumulated 11 starts across SCCA Majors and SVRA since 2023, without winning or reaching the podium. His average finish of P11.7 places him mid-field in his typical competitive environment. Palazzo races primarily against semi-professional and competitive amateur drivers; his most frequent rival Steve Whitston, the 2024 SCCA Majors FE2 champion, has finished ahead of him in nine of their ten shared races, establishing a clear gap between them.[1]
Palazzo has occasionally finished ahead of established semi-professional drivers, most notably Ethan Tovo and Jackson Tovo in two races each, and Charles Russell in one. These isolated strong results do not constitute a pattern and do not offset his consistent finishing position against the broader field. His head-to-head record against regular rivals is unfavourable; he has won only one of eight races against Justin Upchurch and one of seven against Zachary Whitston, both drivers at or below semi-professional level themselves. His most recent outing in 2025 saw him classified P359 in the SVRA, indicating a field of considerable size with little competitive presence at that finishing position.
