Justin Pruskowski is a semi-professional driver whose single season of competition places him in the competitive amateur to semi-professional band, with a Racer Rating of 3,915. His career consisted of nine starts in the Star Mazda Championship during 2002, a feeder series for single-seater racing. He scored two podium finishes without a win and finished fifth in the final standings, averaging a finishing position of 13th across the season.[1]
Pruskowski was substantially outpaced by the championship-winning field. Against Moses Smith, the 2002 Star Mazda champion, Pruskowski finished ahead only once in nine meetings. He fared better against most other regular rivals in the series, beating John Mefford seven times in nine races and finishing ahead of John Olsen and Joe Pruskowski six times each. The notable outlier in his season was a pair of victories over Scott Speed, later an elite professional driver and a Platinum-graded sportscar competitor; however, these were isolated results rather than a pattern of competitiveness at that level. Pruskowski's strong finishes against established professionals such as Luis Schiavo and Ryan Justice were similarly rare occurrences. His two podiums came against a field of semi-professional drivers, and he has since retired from competition.
