Kris Valdez is a club-level competitor with a Racer Rating of 2,049, placing him among drivers who race consistently in regional and amateur fields. His record across 14 starts over a ten-year span from 2014 to 2024 shows one podium finish, achieved in TC during 2023, with an average finishing position of fifth place. The gap between his rating and those of his most frequent rivals reflects his position at the rear of competitive fields; he finished behind Jeff Ricca, a FIA Bronze-graded three-time champion, in nine of eleven shared races, and behind Sally McNulty in nine of eleven meetings. His best results came against Cristian Perocarpi, whom he beat three times in eight races.[1]
Valdez raced primarily for DRS, which fielded him for 12 of his 14 career starts in TC America powered by Skip Barber across 2023 and 2024. His single podium came in the shorter TC series in 2023 during a two-round entry. The sparse record, interrupted by a nine-year gap between his 2014 and 2015 SKUSA SuperNationals appearances and his return to racing in 2023, suggests an amateur career pursued alongside other commitments. He has since retired from competition.
