Mike Fitzgerald belongs to the competitive amateur band at 2,741 on the Elo scale; this is the level of club and regional racing, quicker drivers who compete seriously but in fields that do not meet the standard of full-time professional series. His recorded career consists of a single start in the Star Mazda Championship in 2007, driving for Andersen Racing Team. He finished P30 in that round and did not score a podium.[1]
That one appearance placed him ahead of several established professionals: he beat Tony Rivera (3,679), Ron White (3,541), Gerry Kraut (3,524), and Jonny Baker (3,524), all drivers graded within the professional or semi-professional band. A result of this kind in a single outing carries limited meaning on its own, but it marks Fitzgerald as competitive against significantly stronger drivers in that particular race. His actual body of work on the books runs to the one start only, making any pattern impossible to establish.[2]
Fitzgerald retired from racing after 2007 and has not competed since. His biographical record shows a long career in sports car racing with over 350 wins in Sports Car Club of America events, and a NASCAR start at age 65 in 1987, suggesting he was active in various forms of motorsport across several decades before and after this single-seater appearance.
