Matt Kurzejewski

Matthew Kurzejewski (born June 27, 1991) is an American racing driver who competes in the LMGT3 class of the European Le Mans Series with Proton Competition.

Stock car racing career After getting many good finishes driving part-time for his own team for a few years, he signed with the No. 52 team for Ken Schrader Racing to run his first full season in ARCA in 2016. They also picked up sponsorship from Menards (as well as Ansell), which moved over to KSR after sponsoring Frank Kimmel since 2009. They replaced Federated Auto Parts as the team's full season sponsor. That year marked the first time the No. 52 car ran with one driver for the full season for the first time in over three years. Even though he did not win any races, Kurzejewski earned a third-place finish in points.

Sports car racing career

Le Mans Cup Following two years of racing in Ferrari Challenge, Kurzejewski moved up to GT3 machinery in 2024, signing with AF Corse to compete in the Le Mans Cup. Alessandro Balzan joined the team to be Kurzejewski's teammate. He and Balzan had a very successful season, winning four out of seven races and having a podium place finish in every single race. Kurzejewski won the championship, his second straight following his 2023 Ferrari Challenge North America title.

European Le Mans Series After not racing in 2025, Kurzejewski signed with Proton Competition to compete in the LMGT3 class of the 2026 European Le Mans Series. Richard Lietz and Tom Sargent joined the team as Kurzejewski's teammates. In his championship debut at Barcelona, Kurzejewski qualified third. During the race, he took the car to second in class before handing it off to Lietz. Lietz fought for the lead with the No. 61 Iron Lynx of Julian Hanses. The team eventually took the lead of the race with Sargent at the helm. Kurzejewski and company took home the win, allowing Kurzejewski to win on debut.
