Justin Upchurch is a developing driver competing in SCCA club racing. With a Racer Rating of 763, Upchurch sits at the entry level of club competition; he has recorded 11 starts across two seasons with an average finishing position of P6.8 and has yet to record a race win. His two podium finishes came in SCCA Majors and SCCA Regionals competition between 2023 and 2025.[1]
Upchurch has raced primarily against fellow club-level competitors and lower-ranked drivers. He holds a winning head-to-head record against Roy Hillenburg (7 finishes ahead to 2 behind across 9 shared races) and Brian Palazzo (7 ahead to 1 behind across 8 races). Against stronger opposition, Upchurch has proven capable of occasional strong results; he finished ahead of established professional-level drivers Whitney Strickland and Charles Russell twice each, and beat 2024 SCCA Majors FE2 champion Steve Whitston twice in seven shared races, though he more often finished behind Whitston and other higher-rated rivals including Kenny Russo and Zachary Whitston. His most recent activity places him in 2025 SCCA Regionals competition, where he continues to develop within the club racing field.
