Morgan Burkhard is a semi-professional racing solo and in shared-car endurance competition in national American championships run by IMSA and the SCCA. Graded FIA Silver, he races for CSM; his machinery spans GT4-level production sports cars in IMSA's Pilot Challenge and VP Racing Challenge, one-design Spec Racer Fords in SCCA Majors, and production-based saloons and Miatas in regional competition.[1]
Across five seasons from 2022 to 2026, Burkhard has amassed 70 starts with 12 wins and 27 podiums. His record in SCCA national-level Majors competition is his strongest, with seven wins and 13 podiums in 19 starts. Regional racing has yielded four wins and nine podiums in 18 starts. His IMSA Pilot Challenge campaign, ongoing since 2024 with CSM, carries two podiums in 27 starts across shared-car GS and TCR classes; in solo sprint racing under the IMSA VP Racing banner in 2026, he has a win and three podiums in four starts. He has made two starts in SCCA Runoffs competition in 2024 and 2025.[2]
Burkhard runs closely matched against Chris Miller and Mikey Taylor, both Silver-graded entry-level professionals and co-champions of the 2024 Pilot Challenge TCR class, and has beaten established professionals including Sammy Smith, a three-time ARCA champion with 131 NASCAR Xfinity starts, in single meetings. In the mixed-class national fields he races, he typically finishes mid-pack among the full-season regulars; his wins have come against semi-professional and amateur competition within those fields rather than against the graded drivers who complete most weeks.
