The restructuring in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the World Endurance Championship has led to an increase in the number of entries in the IMSA’s LMP2 class, with United Autosports fielding two cars for the first time. The team will be the only two-car LMP2 team in the WeatherTech Championship. The No. 2 car will be driven by Ben Keating and Ben Hanley, with Nico Pino joining for endurance races, while the No. 22 car will be driven by Dan Goldburg and Paul Di Resta, with Marino Sato joining for endurance races. Billy Glavin and the Jr III racing shop in Mooresville, NC will serve as the team’s base and Glavin will be the general manager. The team’s entry into the WeatherTech Championship is a big commitment for a European team, but the opportunity provided by the LMP2 class was the push they needed. United Autosports has competed in various series around the world and is excited about the electric atmosphere of IMSA racing. Their goal is to win in IMSA, and they have assembled an impressive driver lineup, including reigning champion Ben Keating.
