## Career

### Karting and car racing debut (2012–2019)

Gonzalez began karting in 2012. Racing in karts until 2019, Gonzalez most notably won the Florida Winter Tour in Mini Max and the [SKUSA SuperNationals](/source/SKUSA_SuperNationals) in X30 Junior in 2016,[1][2] before following that up with Junior Rok and Rotax Junior titles in the Florida Winter Tour the following year.[3][4]

In his last year of full-time karting in 2018, Gonzalez joined Copeland Motorsports to make his car racing debut in the [Mazda MX-5 Cup](/source/Mazda_MX-5_Cup) at the non-championship invitational round at [Sebring](/source/Sebring_International_Raceway).[5] Following that, Gonzalez returned to the team in 2019 to compete in his first full season of car racing.[6] Having taken a best result of fifth at [Barber](/source/Barber_Motorsports_Park), Gonzalez left the series after three rounds, and joined [Bryan Herta Autosport](/source/Bryan_Herta_Autosport) with [Curb Agajanian](/source/Curb_Agajanian_Performance_Group) for the final round of that year's [TC America](/source/2019_TC_America_Series) season in the TCA class.[7]

### Maiden season in Touring cars and MX-5 Cup return (2020–2022)

Staying in [TC America](/source/2020_TC_America_Series) for 2020, Gonzalez remained in the TCA class but switched to Copeland Motorsports for his first full-season in the series.[8] Having taken an early championship lead by winning four times in the first three rounds,[9] but after scoring only three podiums in the last three rounds, Gonzalez ended the year third in points as Kevin Boehm won the title.[10] At the end of the year, Gonzalez made his debut in the TCR class of the [Michelin Pilot Challenge](/source/2020_Michelin_Pilot_Challenge) alongside [Tyler Maxson](/source/Tyler_Maxson) with Copeland Motorsports.[11] Racing at both [Road Atlanta](/source/Road_Atlanta) and [Sebring](/source/Sebring_International_Raceway), the duo scored their maiden series podium in the latter by finishing second.[12]

Returning to [Michelin Pilot Challenge](/source/2021_Michelin_Pilot_Challenge) and Copeland Motorsports for 2021,[13] Gonzalez and Maxson scored the pole at [Lime Rock Park](/source/Lime_Rock_Park) alongside a pair of podium finishes at the former and at [Road Atlanta](/source/Road_Atlanta) en route to a tenth-place championship finish.[14][15][16]

Gonzalez returned to the series the following year, switching to Van der Steur Racing for his sophomore season,[17] with whom he scored a lone podium at [Laguna Seca](/source/Laguna_Seca) on his way to ninth in points in the Hyundai Veloster TCR's final full season in TCR competition.[18] Alongside his sophomore season in Michelin Pilot Challenge, Gonzalez also returned to the [Mazda MX-5 Cup](/source/Mazda_MX-5_Cup), where he competed with Copeland Motorsports.
