Matt Kurdock is a semi-professional driver whose rating of 3,503 places him in the competitive amateur to semi-professional range; this level describes drivers who compete regularly but typically finish mid-pack among stronger fields, winning occasionally in weaker company. His career record consists of a single season in the Star Mazda Championship in 2002, where he completed seven races without a win or podium finish, averaging 21st place.[1]
Kurdock's season was defined by consistent outpacing from the field's upper tier. He never finished ahead of either the series champion Moses Smith or Tim Jennings, both substantially stronger drivers, and lost head-to-head records against six of his seven most frequent rivals. His only competitive edge came against John Olsen and John Mefford, against whom he finished ahead three times each from four shared races. In isolated instances he beat drivers of considerably higher calibre; he finished ahead of Scott Speed, an FIA Platinum-graded driver and future Formula Renault Eurocup champion, and Luis Schiavo, who would win the Star Mazda Championship the following year. These results were exceptions rather than patterns and did not translate into sustained competitiveness against the class of the field.
Kurdock has since retired from racing. His single season represents a brief entry into professional-level single-seater competition that did not develop into a sustained career.
