Early career
Rothberg began his career in Ferrari Challenge North America in the Coppa Shell class in 2022. He contested half of the season, taking a win a Sonoma Raceway.[1] Rothberg returned the following year, this time competing in the Trofeo Pirelli Am class, winning six times en route to the championship title.[2]
2024
In 2024, Rothberg stepped up to SRO competition, racing in the GT America Series and GT World Challenge America for Turner Motorsport in a BMW M4 GT3.[3][4] He and his driver coach, Robby Foley won two races and finished on the podium eight times to claim the Pro-Am class championship in GT World Challenge America.[5] In GT America, Rothberg finished one point shy of the SRO3 championship, losing out to SKI Autosport's Johnny O’Connell.[6]
2025
For the 2025 season, Rothberg again pulled double duty in the GT America Series and GT World Challenge America for Turner Motorsport in a BMW M4 GT3 Evo.[7][8] After a fourth-place finish at the penultimate race at Indianapolis, he secured the SRO3 title in GT America.[9] Foley and Rothberg successfully defended their Pro-Am class championship in GT World Challenge America with five wins and ten podiums.[10]
Rothberg also made a one-off appearance in the ARCA Menards Series for Nitro Motorsports at the 2025 Owens Corning 200 at Toledo Speedway.[11] He qualified 13th and finished 17th.[12][13]
2026
After no longer receiving a derogation by SRO America to his driver rating, Rothberg, Foley and Turner Motorsport were forced to step up to the Pro class of GT World Challenge America for 2026.[14]
