Riley Pegram is a competitive amateur racing at the entry level of professional motorsport. His Racer Rating of 2,463 places him in the club racing band, reflecting a driver who competes regularly against paid professionals but typically finishes well behind them. Across four seasons from 2023 to 2026, Pegram has started 24 races in IMSA Pilot Challenge, International GT, and American Endurance Racing, accumulating two podium finishes and an average classified result of tenth place.[1]
Pegram's record in IMSA Pilot Challenge, where he has contested the bulk of his career with Pegram Racing, shows consistent out-pace by the established professionals in the field. His head-to-head record against the championship-calibre drivers he has repeatedly faced tells the story clearly; against Denis Dupont, the 2025 IMSA Pilot Challenge TCR champion, Pegram finished ahead twice in nineteen meetings but behind him seventeen times. Similar margins appear against Mark Wilkins, a multiple-time title holder rated as FIA Gold, and Harry Gottsacker, the 2023 series champion. Pegram has beaten semi-professional rivals on occasion, including three wins over Bruno Junqueira and Bryson Morris, both stronger-rated drivers, but these remain isolated results rather than a pattern of dominance. His two career podiums, one from American Endurance Racing in 2023 and one from International GT in 2025, represent his peak achievements to date.
The recent record shows Pegram continues to race actively in 2025 and 2026, most recently competing in International GT where he finished sixteenth overall with one podium from three starts. His involvement with Pegram Racing, a team that fields competitive drivers such as Mario Farnbacher, suggests a commitment to motorsport beyond driving alone, and recent activity indicates continued participation in endurance racing at Mid-Ohio and other venues.
