Racing career
Goldburg began club racing in 2001,[3] before joining Performance Tech seven years later as a simulator driver to practice for his debut in IMSA Prototype Lites.[4][5] In 2010, Goldburg made his series debut for the team, racing at the Road Atlanta finale in the Lites 1 class.[6] Continuing in the series on a part-time basis for the following two seasons,[7] Goldburg won at Daytona in 2011 and finished 10th in points in both, before going full-time in 2013.[8] Goldburg won the season opener at Sebring and scored five other podiums to finish fourth in the Lites 1 points.[9][10]
Goldburg returned to racing in 2018 in the NASA National Championships,[11] and clinched the Spec E30 title in 2019.[12] Towards the end of that year, Goldburg reunited with Performance Tech Motorsports to race in the LMP3 class of the non-championship IMSA Michelin Encore.[13] In 2020, Goldburg joined the team in the now-renamed IMSA Prototype Challenge.[14] Racing alongside Rasmus Lindh for most of the six-race season, Goldburg took a best result of second at Road America, as he ended the year fourth in the overall standings.[15]
In 2021, Goldburg stayed at Performance Tech for another campaign in the IMSA Prototype Challenge,[16] as well as a part-time effort in the LMP3 class of the premier IMSA SportsCar Championship.[17] In the former, Goldburg and Lindh took an overall win at VIR and two other podiums to once again end the year fourth in the LMP3-1 class points.[18] In the latter, Goldburg scored a pole and a pair of second-place finishes at Mid-Ohio and Road America to take seventh in the LMP3 standings.[19][20] Returning for a similar dual campaign in 2022,[21][22] Goldburg found more success in the WeatherTech series, in which he took third at Sebring and Watkins Glen.[23][24]

In 2023, Goldburg moved to JDC MotorSports to compete in the new IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge.[25] Driving solo, Goldburg won both races at Daytona, beating several silver-rated drivers,[26] before taking a further win at Mosport and seven other podiums to secure the Bronze title and runner-up honors overall in LMP3, behind Bijoy Garg.[27] During 2023, Goldburg also made cameos in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, finishing third in LMP3 at the 12 Hours of Sebring for JDC–Miller,[28] and second on his LMP2 debut at Indianapolis for Tower Motorsports.[29]

Moving to United Autosports USA for his first full-time IMSA WeatherTech season in LMP2 in 2024,[30] Goldburg took a best result of third at the 12 Hours of Sebring with Paul di Resta and Garg to end the year seventh in points.[31] Continuing with United for 2025,[32] Goldburg took a breakthrough pole position at the 24 Hours of Daytona, inherited the LMP2 win with Di Resta, Lindh and James Allen after the Tower car was disqualified,[33] and won again at the Six Hours of the Glen to take third in the standings.[34]
Staying put for 2026, sharing United Autosports's No. 22 Oreca 07 with Di Resta and Lindh,[35] Goldburg began the year by finishing second at the 12 Hours of Sebring and qualifying on pole at Road America.[36][37] During 2026, Goldburg made a brief return to LMP3 competition, winning the Road to Le Mans for M Racing in LMP3 Pro-Am alongside Wayne Boyd, before the car was disqualified post-race.[38]
