Potolicchio's working life ran in parallel with his racing. He served as Managing Director of Poliuretanos Texel, a poliurethane shoe sole manufacturer based in Caracas, from 1991 to 2006, and as a principal at Polymex de Venezuela from 1998 until December 2006. He later founded BusinessDeckRunners LLC, of which he became CEO from December 2021.
Potolicchio held Venezuelan Porsche Super Cup and Porsche 993 racing commitments during the 1990s, winning the Venezuelan Porsche Super Cup championship in 1998.
Potolicchio competed extensively in Ferrari Challenge North America. He won the Ferrari Challenge 430 driver championship in 2010 and followed it with the Ferrari Challenge 458 driver championship in 2011, accumulating a career total of 135 races started, 12 wins, and 45 podiums across his Ferrari Challenge campaigns.
Potolicchio made his Grand-Am debut with Starworks Motorsport in 2011, scoring his first career victory at Mid-Ohio alongside Ryan Dalziel. At the 2012 24 Hours of Daytona he finished second overall, sharing the car with Ryan Dalziel, Alex Popow, Lucas Luhr, and Allan McNish. He then announced his departure from the Rolex Series before the second race at Watkins Glen, while continuing to support the No. 8 Starworks entry.
Potolicchio entered the inaugural 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship season with Starworks Motorsport, driving the No. 44 HPD ARX-03b Honda in the LMP2 class alongside Ryan Dalziel and Stéphane Sarrazin. At the opening round — the 12 Hours of Sebring — the trio achieved a result that surprised the endurance racing world: third overall and first in the LMP2 class, despite Starworks being an American team whose machinery in theory should not have contended for an outright podium.
Potolicchio described the subsequent Six Hours of Spa-Francorchamps as a difficult round — acknowledging that his inexperience in managing faster traffic led to contact, leaving him in the gravel while trying to yield to the Audis. The experience he drew from that setback informed his approach to later rounds.
The peak of the season came at the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans, where Potolicchio competed for the first time. With Dalziel and Tom Kimber-Smith — Sarrazin having taken up a concurrent Toyota opportunity with Potolicchio's agreement — the Starworks No. 44 won the LMP2 class. The victory also brought Starworks the FIA LMP2 Trophy in the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship season. Potolicchio was simultaneously named WEC LMP2 Driver Champion and WEC Rookie Driver of the Year for 2012.
Potolicchio reflected publicly on his first Le Mans experience: the atmosphere, the European fan culture, and the contrast with American road racing audiences made a strong impression. He noted that fans arriving with photographs from his Ferrari Challenge years demonstrated how closely his career had been followed.
In 2013 Potolicchio founded 8Star Motorsports, entering his own team in the FIA WEC season in the LM GTE Am class with a Ferrari 458 Italia. The team achieved a second-place finish at Silverstone and a class victory at Spa-Francorchamps. Potolicchio simultaneously ran Grand-Am operations with two Corvettes under the 8Star banner.
Beyond the 2012 WEC titles, Potolicchio's LinkedIn profile records among his honours the 24 Hours of Le Mans LMP2 class winner, the 12 Hours of Sebring LMP2 class winner and third overall, the Ferrari Challenge 458 driver championship, the Ferrari Challenge 430 driver championship, and the Porsche SuperCup 993 driver championship of 1998.
