Ben Keating was initially planning to be a spectator at the FIA World Endurance Championship race at his home track, Circuit of The Americas. However, an offer from Proton Competition’s Christian Ried led him to compete in the race driving the No. 88 Proton Competition Ford Mustang GT3 with Mikkel Pedersen and Dennis Olsen. Keating, a third-generation Ford dealer with past success in Ford GT, is excited to be back in the series and on the track. Despite low expectations for his first GT3 outing in a year, Keating is delighted to be racing and reuniting with friends in the paddock. Being part of the WEC and IMSA family, Keating cherishes the relationships he’s built over the years and is grateful for the opportunity to compete again.
