John Peruto is a developing driver competing in American Endurance Racing, a multiclass series where amateurs and professionals share a track in endurance races across two countries. He races production-based cars in Class 1, Class 2 and Class Indy machinery, sharing the driving with co-drivers across a car's race stint.[1]
Over eleven seasons from 2015 to 2025, Peruto has accumulated 54 starts and seven wins with 23 podiums in the series. His most recent activity in 2025 placed him 18th in the championship standings after five rounds raced; he took one podium finish so far that season. The consistency of his record across machinery and classes suggests an adaptability to different cars within the endurance format, though his standing remains at the developing level.[2]
Peruto's peers are largely other club and developing drivers working within the same series. He finishes ahead of Steve Lady with regularity, who competes at developing level in American Endurance Racing. He is closely matched with Keith Oldt, a club-level regular in the same championship. His one victory against Kaz Grala, a FIA Silver graded professional with substantial experience in NASCAR national series competition, and one finish ahead of Lance Bergstein, an entry-level professional with credentials across IMSA and GT4 racing, stand as exceptions to his typical field rather than its shape.
