🏳️ Eric Van Cleef

Eric Van Cleef is an American former professional auto racing driver whose background includes stints in the NASCAR Goody's Dash Series and the Michelin Pilot Challenge before he appeared in the SCCA Runoffs, as recorded in Racer DB. His documented Runoffs career amounts to a single start, with no wins, podiums, or championships credited to his name. That lone appearance stands as the extent of his recorded participation at this level of competition.[1]

Van Cleef's Racer Rating of 1,307 places him at 10697th among active drivers on a scale where the world's elite typically sit between 10,000 and 11,500, reflecting the limited sample size of his recorded results rather than an extended competitive body of work. In the 2026 season, he made one start, finishing without a win or podium and placing P283 in the standings. With his status now listed as retired, his Racer DB profile reflects a brief, narrowly documented chapter of SCCA Runoffs competition following his earlier work in NASCAR's developmental and endurance sports car ranks.[2]
