“Bryan Herta Autosport with Curb Agajanian will participate in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge in 2024, fielding a team of four Hyundai Elantra N TCR cars. The team will include Harry Gottsacker and Robert Wickens, the 2023 series champions, who will defend their title in the No. 33 car. Gottsacker and Wickens achieved a record-breaking seven second-place finishes in 10 races last season.
Gottsacker, who has been with BHA for six seasons, has recorded five series victories and holds the record for the most pole positions with seven. Wickens, in his third season racing for Hyundai, made a remarkable comeback after a devastating injury in a 2018 IndyCar accident. He became the first driver in North America to win a professional title driving with hand controls, with two victories and eight podiums to his name.
Bryson Morris will team up with two-time series champion Taylor Hagler in the No. 77 Elantra N TCR. Morris made his debut with the team in 2023 and is looking forward to building on their potential and achieving podium finishes or even a win this season.
Denis Dupont and Preston Brown will make their debut with BHA at the Roar Before the Rolex 24, driving the No. 76 Elantra N TCR. They will be joined by Nick Looijmans for the season opener at Daytona.
Mark Wilkins and Mason Filippi, who had a successful season in 2023 with three wins and eight podium finishes, will once again be teammates in the No. 98 Elantra N TCR. Wilkins is the 2019 IMPC Champion with 11 TCR victories, while Filippi has six wins and four pole positions since his rookie season in 2019.
The 2024 Michelin Pilot Challenge season kicks off on January 26 with a four-hour race at Daytona International Speedway.”
