🇺🇸 Cory Deeds

Cory Deeds is a Bronze-graded amateur endurance and sportscar driver competing in club and regional racing. His Racer Rating of 3,004 places him among semi-professional drivers; this is the level of competitors who win in pro-am and one-make classes and run mid-pack in fields containing full professionals. Across 14 starts between 2021 and 2026, Deeds has scored three podiums but no wins. His racing has centered on vintage and club machinery in the SVRA series, where he has made eight starts in 2025 without a podium finish, and on endurance racing through American Endurance Racing, where he took a single podium across four entries. Most recently he has competed in GT America in 2026, where he has achieved two podium finishes in two starts for 5.2 Motorsports.[1]

Deeds typically finishes around sixth in the fields he contests, though his record against higher-rated rivals shows he is outpaced in most head-to-head matchups. Against David Lecko, a Bronze-graded professional-level endurance driver rated considerably stronger, Deeds has finished ahead on three occasions across ten shared races but trails the matchup 7-3. Against Maxwell Waithman, who won the 2025 SVRA championship, Deeds has not finished ahead in eight shared races. He does hold a winning record against Eric Arms across their eight encounters, finishing ahead five times to three, and has beaten several mid-tier drivers including Henry Drury and Aaron Applegate on multiple occasions, though not consistently. His strongest finishes have come in GT America, where the higher-calibre opposition reflects the slightly stronger level of competition that series has fielded.
