Career

One of America's most successful young karters, he won numerous regional and national World Karting Association and Stars of Karting championships before moving up to cars in late 2003. In 2004, he competed in numerous open-wheel developmental series, including Skip Barber Formula Dodge, where he finished fifth in series points, and the Star Mazda Series. In 2005, he competed in Star Mazda full-time and finished second in the championship, winning two races and rookie of the year honors.

In 2006, he competed in the Champ Car Atlantic Series for Gelles Racing, winning at Toronto and finishing 11th in points. In 2007, he moved to the rival Indy Pro Series driving for Team KMA Racing, [1] where he finished eighth in points with one win at Nashville Superspeedway. The series changed names to the Firestone Indy Lights Series for 2008 and Pecorari was left without a full-time ride. After missing the first race, Pecorari drove for 3 different teams on a part-time schedule, making 12 starts with a runner-up finish at Kansas Speedway and finished 16th in points.

In April 2009, he participated in an A1 Grand Prix Rookie Driver test session for A1 Team USA.
