Richard Fitzgerald is a competitive amateur racer with a Racer Rating of 1,444, placing him in the club racing band; this means he competes at the entry level of organised racing, typically finishing well within amateur fields but not at the calibre of professional competitors. His career spans nine seasons in NASA racing from 2016 to 2025, across 63 starts. He has never won a race but has recorded 13 podium finishes, averaging a fifth-place classification across all his starts.[1]
Fitzgerald's head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals shows the typical pattern of a mid-pack club racer. He has a substantial losing record against the series' front-runners; Arthur Golebiowski, a three-time NASA Spec Z champion, finished ahead of him in 55 of 58 shared races, and Chad Aalders, a much stronger driver rated at 2,436, beat him 42 times in 58 encounters. However, Fitzgerald shows competitive moments against drivers closer to his own level. He finished ahead of Chris Hutchens in 30 of 39 races and has occasional results against stronger drivers; he beat FIA Bronze graded Peter Atwater twice and has isolated wins over drivers rated significantly above him. His current form in 2025 shows a P17 result across three rounds, suggesting he remains active but without the recent success that characterised his earlier campaigns.[2]
