Vasser Sullivan is making changes to their driver lineup in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, with Parker Thompson and Frankie Montecalvo becoming the full-season drivers in the No. 12 GTD-class Lexus RC-F. Aaron Telitz, who has been partnered with Montecalvo for the past two seasons, will join them as the third driver for endurance races. Thompson, who competed in the endurance races last year, moves into a full-time position after a successful season. He has consistently achieved wins in various championship series since 2015. Thompson’s experience includes competing full-time in the IMSA Porsche Carrera Cup North America series, where he placed third in 2021 and won the championship in 2022. Montecalvo, on the other hand, will be entering his sixth season with Vasser Sullivan and Lexus, while Telitz returns for his sixth IMSA season. All three drivers were part of the team’s victory at Watkins Glen last season, and there are high expectations for more wins and a championship in 2024.
