Denny Stripling is a competitive amateur driver with a Racer Rating of 2,914, placing him in the club and regional racing band. This rating reflects a driver who races consistently at a high level within amateur-focused series but does not meet the threshold of professional competition. Stripling holds FIA Bronze status, the amateur grade in sportscar and endurance racing, and competes primarily in SCCA Majors single-seater racing where he has built his record across eight seasons from 2016 to 2026.[1]
Stripling's primary platform has been SCCA Majors SRF3, in which he has recorded 79 starts, 23 wins, and 47 podiums across five seasons. He won the SCCA Majors SRF3 championship in both 2021 and 2023, establishing himself as a dominant figure in that particular class. His head-to-head record against established rivals in this series illustrates consistent performance; he finished ahead of Brian Schofield, the 2025 SCCA Majors SRF3 champion, in 18 of their 23 shared races. Against other frequent competitors such as Judson Holt (FIA Bronze), Todd Vanacore, and Nils Musaeus, Stripling posted winning records of 35-3, 25-3, and 25-3 respectively. Since 2025, Stripling has also raced in GT4 America for Random Vandals Racing, earning 3 wins and 7 podiums across 17 starts, and made four appearances in GT America. His average finishing position across all 106 career starts is 5.5th, reflecting consistent mid-field and occasional front-running performances.
Stripling's record against stronger professional-level drivers has been episodic rather than systematic. He has beaten established professionals including Allen Patten (three times), Danny Steyn (once), Curt Swearingin (2024 GT4 America Pro-Am champion, once), and Jake Walker (2025 IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge GTDX champion, once), though these represent isolated results rather than sustained competitive patterns. His current activity includes racing in GT4 America alongside his continued SCCA Majors program, with recent competition at Sonoma in the spring of 2026.
