Jeffrey Westphal (born July 22, 1986) is an American racing driver who last competed in the GS class of the Michelin Pilot Challenge for CarBahn with Peregrine Racing. A race winner in IMSA for Scuderia Corsa, he made headlines in 2017 by driving the Glickenhaus SCG 003 to pole position at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.

Career Westphal made his single-seater debut in 2006, racing in Formula Russell. Racing in single-seaters until 2008, Westphal most notably won the Pacific F2000 title the same year for PR1 Motorsport. Westphal then raced part-time in the Rolex Sports Car Series in the following two years, before making select appearances in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge in the following two seasons.

In 2013, Westphal joined Scuderia Corsa to race a Ferrari 458 in select rounds of the GT class of the Rolex Sports Car Series. Taking part in six races, Westphal scored four podiums, with a best result of second at Barber and Belle Isle. Staying with Scuderia Corsa for the full United SportsCar Championship season in 2014, Westphal scored wins at Belle Isle and Indianapolis, as well as a second-place finish at VIR, en route to a ninth-place points finish. The following year, Westphal remained with Scuderia Corsa for select rounds of the United SportsCar Championship, as well as driving for Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus in the VLN Series.

After continuing with Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus into 2016 and finishing second in the SPX class at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, Westphal joined its customer Traum Motorsport for 2017, in which he scored a surprise overall pole position at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. In 2018, Westphal joined Carbahn Motorsports to compete in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, scoring a best result of third at Laguna Seca as he ended the year fifth in points aboard an Audi R8 LMS GT4. Remaining with the team for the following year, Westphal scored a lone win at Sebring and five other podiums to secure the GS title. During 2019, Westphal also returned to Scuderia Corsa for select rounds of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, driving the Ferrari 488 GT3 to a best result of third at Sebring and Watkins Glen.

Staying with CarBahn Motorsports with Peregrine Racing for 2020, Westphal took wins at Sebring and Laguna Seca, as well as three more podiums to secure runner-up honors in GS. In parallel, Westphal also raced for Scuderia Corsa in the endurance rounds of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, most notably winning Petit Le Mans in GTD. Westphal then joined CarBahn with Peregrine in its step up to the IMSA SportsCar Championship the following year, as he scored a best result of fourth at Watkins Glen en route to a 13th-place points finish. A switch to the Lamborghini Huracán brought greater success in 2022, as Westphal scored three podiums and a best result of second at Laguna Seca and Road America, ending the year seventh in GTD.

Moving back to Michelin Pilot Challenge for 2023 with CarBahn with Peregrine, Westphal scored a best result of fourth at Detroit and finished the year ninth in points at the wheel of a Porsche 718 Cayman. Having switched to BMW machinery for the 2024 season, the crew scored a lone win at Indianapolis and a third-place finish at Road Atlanta to round out the year 11th in points. In 2025, Westphal continued with the team for his sixth full-time season in the series, taking wins at Sebring and Mosport, as well as finishing third at Watkins Glen to secure runner-up honors in GS.

Westphal remained with CarBahn with Peregrine Racing to continue racing in the GS class of the Michelin Pilot Challenge in 2026. In his fourth consecutive season with the team, Westphal took a best result of third at both Mid-Ohio (from pole) and Indianapolis to end the year 26th in points.
