Katherine Legge’s time with Gradient Racing has ended, and she is being replaced by Stevan McAleer for the rest of the season. The decision comes after Legge was involved in a racing incident that wrecked the No. 66 Acura NSX GT3 at Sebring. No specific reason for the change was provided by the team. McAleer, who previously drove for the team at the Rolex 24 At Daytona, has a long-standing relationship with team owner Andris Laivins and aims to support co-driver Sheena Monk in the GTD class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. McAleer expressed excitement for the opportunity, highlighting his previous successes with Laivins’ programs dating back to 2011. The new driver duo of McAleer and Monk will make their debut in the freshly-built No. 66 Acura at the upcoming Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.
