Elliott Budzinski is a semi-professional driver rated 3,003, a level that describes drivers who win in pro-am and one-make classes and run mid-pack among full professionals. His record spans two seasons from 2022 to 2024 and comprises only three race starts. He is now retired.[1]
Budzinski's racing activity centred on SCCA Majors competition in 2022, where he started twice and recorded one win and two podiums; he was therefore competitive within that field. In 2024, he made a single appearance in IMSA Pilot Challenge for Victor Gonzalez Racing Team and did not finish on the podium. His average finishing position across all starts was 5.7. Against the strongest drivers on record, he beat James Vance and Eddie Gou once each; both held FIA Silver grading at the time. He also defeated Eduardo Gou and Gordon Scully once and twice respectively. These results are scattered across a small sample, and the brevity of his career prevents any clear pattern from emerging.
