Daniel Goldburg (born May 11, 1978) is an American businessman and racing driver who last competed in the LMP2 class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship for United Autosports USA.

Business ventures Goldburg is the president and owner of CSCI, a structural shell contractor company founded by his father Ronald in 1993.

Racing career Goldburg began club racing in 2001, before joining Performance Tech seven years later as a simulator driver to practice for his debut in IMSA Prototype Lites. In 2010, Goldburg made his series debut for the team, racing at the Road Atlanta finale in the Lites 1 class. Continuing in the series on a part-time basis for the following two seasons, Goldburg won at Daytona in 2011 and finished 10th in points in both, before going full-time in 2013. Goldburg won the season opener at Sebring and scored five other podiums to finish fourth in the Lites 1 points.

Goldburg returned to racing in 2018 in the NASA National Championships, and clinched the Spec E30 title in 2019. 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. In 2020, Goldburg joined the team in the now-renamed IMSA Prototype Challenge. 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.

In 2021, Goldburg stayed at Performance Tech for another campaign in the IMSA Prototype Challenge, as well as a part-time effort in the LMP3 class of the premier IMSA SportsCar Championship. 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. 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. Returning for a similar dual campaign in 2022, Goldburg found more success in the WeatherTech series, in which he took third at Sebring and Watkins Glen.

In 2023, Goldburg moved to JDC MotorSports to compete in the new IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge. Driving solo, Goldburg won both races at Daytona, beating several silver-rated drivers, 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. During 2023, Goldburg also made cameos in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, finishing third in LMP3 at the 12 Hours of Sebring for JDC–Miller, and second on his LMP2 debut at Indianapolis for Tower Motorsports.

Moving to United Autosports USA for his first full-time IMSA WeatherTech season in LMP2 in 2024, 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. Continuing with United for 2025, 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, and won again at the Six Hours of the Glen to take third in the standings.

Staying put for 2026, sharing United Autosports's No. 22 Oreca 07 with Di Resta and Lindh, Goldburg began the year by finishing second at the 12 Hours of Sebring and qualifying on pole at Road America. After that, Goldburg took pole at Road America and finished third at Indianapolis to take third in the LMP2 standings. 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.
