Carl Skerlong is a semi-professional driver who competed in single-seater racing at the entry level of the professional categories. His Racer Rating of 3,007 places him in the semi-professional band, a level that encompasses drivers who win in pro-am and one-make classes and run mid-pack among full professionals. Skerlong's career on record spans a single season in 2006, when he made two starts in the Star Mazda Championship for Northwest Autosport. He did not finish on the podium in either outing, with a best result of 15th place across his classified starts.[1]
Despite the brevity of his racing record, Skerlong demonstrated competitiveness against established drivers in the Star Mazda field. He finished ahead of Adrian Carrio, who won the 2006 Star Mazda Championship, as well as FIA Bronze-graded Mark Patterson and FIA Silver-graded John Pew. He also bested Ryan Justice, the strongest driver fielded by his team Northwest Autosport and a driver with a significantly higher professional standing. These isolated results show that Skerlong was capable of mixing with stronger competition, though his limited race outings, two starts across a single year, provide insufficient basis to establish him as a consistent performer at that level. Skerlong retired from racing after 2006.[2]
