Richard Benitez is a competitive amateur, rating 2,562; he belongs in the band of drivers racing in club and regional competition where the field typically does not meet full professionals. His recorded career spans two seasons of SKUSA SuperNationals competition between 2008 and 2010, with two starts and no wins or podiums. He finished in the points across his appearances, averaging 14th place overall.[1]
The context of Benitez's limited racing shows occasional competition against much stronger drivers. He finished ahead of Dan Wheldon, a former IndyCar champion and front-running professional rated 5,848; he also beat Buddy Rice, an FIA Gold graded professional at 4,515; Eric Lichtenstein, rated 4,404; and Gregory Liefooghe, an FIA Silver graded driver at 3,908. These were single instances rather than sustained patterns, but they represent the only notable competitive markers in a brief record. Benitez has not raced since 2010 and is now retired from motorsport.
