🏳️ Scott Kusy

Scott Kusy is a semi-professional driver, rated 3,809, who competed in single-seater racing at the entry level during 2002 and 2003. This rating places him in the semi-professional band; drivers at this level typically win in pro-am and one-make classes and run mid-pack among full professionals, though Kusy's record shows him finishing outside the points in most of his outings. He raced in the Star Mazda Championship across two seasons, accumulating 11 starts with a single podium finish and an average finish of P15.5 across classified races.[1]

Kusy's record against his most frequent rivals shows mixed results typical of a mid-field competitor in a reasonably strong field. He finished ahead of John Olsen slightly more often than behind him across 11 shared races, and held a winning head-to-head against the series champion Moses Smith on one occasion, though he trailed Smith in 10 of their 11 encounters. He ran ahead of lesser-rated drivers Dan Weyland and Steve Cook in most meetings, but these constituted only his more competitive results. Most notably, Kusy finished ahead of Scott Speed, then a Platinum-graded professional who would go on to win the 2004 Formula Renault Eurocup, on two occasions, and beat the 2003 Star Mazda champion Luis Schiavo once; however, these remain isolated results rather than sustained patterns across a series.

Kusy's racing career ended in 2003 after his second season, with his final two rounds yielding no podiums and a finish of P27.
