Max Bladon is a club-level driver. With a Racer Rating of 2,684, Bladon sits at the competitive amateur tier; this is the level of drivers who appear regularly in club racing and entry-level professional-am fields, typically self-funded and racing against a mix of amateurs and paid drivers rather than among full professionals.[1]

Bladon's racing record comprises a single start in the 2017 IMSA Pilot Challenge season driving for Automatic Racing. He finished 44th in that outing and has no wins or podium finishes to record. His one classified result places him at an average finishing position of P11 across all starts, though this figure reflects limited data. In that single race, Bladon finished ahead of several drivers with substantially stronger credentials, including Matt Plumb (a professional-level driver and 2024 IMSA Pilot Challenge GS champion), James Sofronas (a professional-level driver and multiple-time champion), Jesse Lazare (a professional-level driver and 2025 McLaren Trophy America Pro-Am champion), and Alec Udell (an elite professional and 2024 GT World Challenge America Pro champion). These finishes, though isolated instances from one race, suggest Bladon was competitive on the day against a capable field.

Bladon has since retired from racing. His brief time in the sport appears to have been confined to that single Pilot Challenge entry early in 2017, with no subsequent racing activity on record.
