Vasser Sullivan Racing is an American auto racing team based in Charlotte, North Carolina, established in 2018 by American businessman James Sullivan and 1996 PPG Indy Car World Series champion Jimmy Vasser.[1] A longtime competitor in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, the team are currently responsible for Lexus' racing activities in the series, with which they won the 2023 IMSA SportsCar Championship GTD Pro Drivers' and Teams' championships with the Lexus RC F GT3.[2] Vasser Sullivan Racing have also previously competed in the IndyCar Series in partnership with Dale Coyne Racing.
Key Information
Background
[edit]Prior to the creation of the team, Vasser Sullivan Racing's team owners, American businessman James Sullivan and CART champion Jimmy Vasser, had previously worked together since 2011. Sullivan founded motocross and rallycross team SH Racing after graduating from Baylor University in 2003, majoring in entrepreneurship and marketing.[3] Vasser was a co-owner of KV Racing Technology, an IndyCar Series outfit formed alongside Australian venture capitalist Kevin Kalkhoven. Both teams came together to form KVSH Racing, competing in Global Rallycross and the IndyCar Series.[4][5] They left the series in 2016, which followed with KV Racing Technology folding in 2017 after a failed partnership with Carlin Motorsport.[1][6] A year later, Sullivan and Vasser partnered with Dale Coyne Racing for the 2018 IndyCar Series, and thus established the 'Vasser Sullivan' name for the first time.[1]
Racing history
[edit]IndyCar Series
[edit]
In 2018, James Sullivan and Jimmy Vasser partnered up with Dale Coyne Racing, supporting four-time Champ Car World Series champion and longtime KVSH driver Sébastien Bourdais' entry for the 2018 IndyCar Series.[1] Competing as Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser Sullivan, the team won in their first race together, as Bourdais won the 2018 Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, taking advantage of a collision at the race's final restart between frontrunners Robert Wickens and Alexander Rossi.[7] After earning another podium at the 2018 Grand Prix of Portland, Bourdais completed his first year with the team with one victory and two podiums, finishing 7th overall. Bourdais and the team did not achieve the same level of consistency in their second season, scoring a podium at the 2019 Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama, but falling to 11th overall in the 2019 IndyCar Series standings.
Santino Ferrucci took over Bourdais' full-time seat in the 2020 IndyCar Series,[8] following Bourdais' departure from the team and subsequent move to the IMSA SportsCar Championship.[9] Ed Jones replaced Ferrucci a year later for the 2021 IndyCar Series, however, had trouble producing results.[10] At the conclusion of the season, Dale Coyne Racing and Vasser Sullivan Racing concluded their partnership after four seasons of competition.[11]
IMSA SportsCar Championship
[edit]
Vasser Sullivan Racing entered sports car racing for the first time in the 2019 IMSA SportsCar Championship, winning the bid to become Lexus' North American factory team and replacing 3GT Racing in the process.[12] The team also formed a partnership with Canadian racing team AIM Autosport, as they entered the series together as AIM Vasser Sullivan.[13][14] The combined effort recorded their first win in the third race of the 2019 season with Jack Hawksworth and Richard Heistand finishing at the front of the GTD class at the 2019 Sports Car Challenge of Mid-Ohio. After three seasons together, which saw numerous wins and podiums, Vasser Sullivan Racing announced that AIM Autosport would be departing from the team at the end of 2020.[15] The team saw a significant overhaul in that year's off-season, as engineers, mechanics, and additional technical personnel hired from experienced IMSA, IndyCar, and NASCAR teams, including newly-hired team manager Greg Cates, who had multiple seasons of experience including with previous Lexus factory team 3GT Racing.[16]

The team expanded further heading into the 2022 IMSA SportsCar Championship, signing Ben Barnicoat and Jack Hawksworth to drive the #14 GTD Pro car. Barnicoat joined the team at the behest of Hawksworth, who reached out to him to bring him into the team.[17] Following the addition of Barnicoat, Aaron Telitz was moved to the #12 car alongside Frankie Montecalvo.[18] Richard Heistand and Townsend Bell would return to join the No. 12 crew at the 2022 24 Hours of Daytona while Kyle Kirkwood joined the #14 squad in the same race and for the remaining endurance races that season.
Heading into 2023, Vasser Sullivan Racing brought in more experience for each of its teams. Veteran race engineer Geoff Fickling and mechanic Travis Morgan were appointed as race engineer and car chief for the #14 team, respectively. Chris Andrews and NASCAR crew member Jesse Goldin were also appointed as race engineer and car chief for the #12 team, respectively.[19] Vasser Sullivan Racing won the 2023 IMSA SportsCar Championship GTD Pro Drivers' and Teams' championships with the #14 duo of Barnicoat and Hawksworth, securing the titles at the green flag of the 2023 Petit Le Mans, as the team carried a significant points margin from 2nd.[2][20]
Hawksworth and Barnicoat were retained as full season drivers for the 2024 season.[21] Vasser Sullivan Racing also placed third in the IMSA GTD championship but elected to swap in Parker Thompson into a full-season role alongside Frankie Montecalvo for the 2024 season. Aaron Telitz returned in an endurance driver role.[22]
For 2025, the team elected to restructure its driver lineup, with Ben Barnicoat paired alongside Aaron Telitz in the #14 car in the IMSA GTD Pro class, while Jack Hawksworth and Parker Thompson will split duties of the #12 car in the GTD class.[23] For the Michelin Endurance Cup, Kyle Kirkwood joined the #14 team while Frankie Montecalvo competed with the #12 team. Townsend Bell also returned with the #12 crew at the 2025 24 Hours of Daytona.[24]

View on GrokipediaHistory
Founding by James Sullivan
James "Sulli" Sullivan, a native Texan, developed an early passion for motorsports through attending AMA Motocross and Supercross events with his father in Houston.[10] This enthusiasm was further fueled by his professional experience in the industry, where he worked in marketing for Holigan Racing, securing sponsorships such as Samsung for AMA Motocross, Supercross, and X Games events targeting the 12-24 demographic.[10] Sullivan graduated from Baylor University in 2003 with a double major in entrepreneurship and marketing.[10] His personal involvement in racing deepened after attending a CART event in Houston and the 2003 Indianapolis 500, where encounters with figures like A.J. Foyt and Tomas Scheckter inspired him to pursue opportunities in open-wheel racing.[10] Drawing on this background, Sullivan established SH Racing in 2010 as a motocross team, naming it after his former business partner T.J. Humphreys and his daughter Hadley (SH).[10][11] This foundation allowed Sullivan to build the organization from the ground up, rooted in his entrepreneurial approach before expanding into rallycross and IndyCar series.[11]SH Racing in Motocross and Rallycross
SH Racing was established in 2010 by James Sullivan to compete in motocross events, focusing on regional and national series in the United States. The team initially fielded motorcycles in various off-road competitions, leveraging Sullivan's background in action sports to build a foundation in the discipline. This entry marked the organization's early emphasis on high-intensity, dirt-based racing formats.[12] In 2013, SH Racing expanded into rallycross by entering the Global Rallycross Championship (GRC), debuting at the X Games Los Angeles with driver Scott Speed in a partnership with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing.[13][14] This move represented the team's strategic shift from two-wheeled motocross to four-wheeled rallycross vehicles, adapting chassis and suspension setups for the mixed-surface, high-speed format of GRC events. The entry highlighted SH Racing's versatility in transitioning operational expertise from motocross maintenance and rider development to car-based team logistics.[13] The team's rallycross program gained momentum in 2014 with Brazilian driver Nelson Piquet Jr. piloting the No. 07 Ford Fiesta ST, achieving a bronze medal at X Games Austin in the Supercar class. This result underscored SH Racing's growing competitiveness, as the team refined its approach to rallycross-specific elements like joker laps and rapid tire changes, drawing on motocross-honed agility in variable terrain. In the 2015 GRC season, SH Racing secured four podium finishes, including a victory at Washington D.C., finishing fourth overall in the team standings while continuing to utilize the Ford Fiesta ST platform for its balance of power and handling in short, intense races.[15][16]KVSH Racing in IndyCar
KVSH Racing emerged in 2011 as a partnership between James Sullivan, Jimmy Vasser, and Kevin Kalkhoven, expanding upon the established KV Racing Technology team to enter the IndyCar Series with enhanced operational support.[17][18] This collaboration leveraged Sullivan's prior experience with SH Racing in motocross and rallycross to bolster the team's presence in open-wheel racing. The partnership fielded competitive entries from 2011 through 2016, primarily under car numbers 11 and 21, transitioning to Chevrolet engines starting in 2012 as per the series' dual-supplier formula.[19][20] Notable drivers during this era included Simona de Silvestro, who competed for the team from 2012 to 2013 and achieved consistent top-10 finishes, marking her as one of the series' prominent female racers.[21] Sebastien Bourdais joined in 2014 and delivered multiple victories for KVSH Racing through 2016, including wins at the Honda Indy Toronto in 2014 and the ABC Supply Wisconsin 250 at Milwaukee in 2015, showcasing the team's potential on street and oval circuits.[22][23] Additionally, as partial owners, Vasser, Sullivan, and Kalkhoven shared in the success of Tony Kanaan's 2013 Indianapolis 500 victory, the team's most prestigious achievement during the partnership.[20][18] The team faced growing operational challenges, particularly funding constraints that limited resources and led to a reduction to a single full-time entry by 2016, with Bourdais as the sole driver.[24] These financial pressures culminated in the dissolution of KVSH Racing's IndyCar operations after the 2016 season, as co-owner Kalkhoven cited difficulties in sustaining the effort amid competitive demands.[18]Formation of Vasser Sullivan Racing
Following the dissolution of KVSH Racing at the end of the 2016 IndyCar season, co-owners Jimmy Vasser and James "Sulli" Sullivan sought to revive their partnership, which had previously yielded six wins including the 2013 Indianapolis 500. In early 2018, they briefly returned to IndyCar ownership by aligning with Dale Coyne Racing for four races that year, but soon pivoted toward sports car racing to establish a new team identity. This strategic shift culminated in the official formation of Vasser Sullivan Racing in late 2018, with an announcement on October 16 detailing their entry into the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship's GTD class for the 2019 season.[17][20] To launch operations, Vasser Sullivan Racing secured factory support from Lexus, leveraging the duo's prior consideration for the manufacturer's GTD program during the 2015 bidding process under the KVSH banner. The team partnered with established IMSA competitor AIM Autosport, forming AIM Vasser Sullivan for logistical and technical backing, and began preparations from an initial administrative base in Indianapolis, tied to their IndyCar heritage. Key early hires included engineers and staff with experience from prior open-wheel and sports car programs, enabling rapid setup for the Lexus RC F GT3 entries.[25][4] This collaboration operated out of AIM's facilities in Charlotte, North Carolina, from the outset, but by November 2020—after two seasons of joint success—the partnership ended mutually, allowing Vasser Sullivan to transition to full independence. The team then established its permanent base in Charlotte, NC, in 2020, consolidating all operations there to focus exclusively on IMSA competition and solidifying their modern identity in sports car racing.[26]IMSA Sports Car Racing
Partnership with Lexus
In 2019, Vasser Sullivan Racing entered into a factory-backed partnership with Lexus to field entries in the GTD class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship using the Lexus RC F GT3.[27][28] This agreement followed Lexus's decision to end its prior collaboration with 3GT Racing, enabling the team—initially operating as AIM Vasser Sullivan—to campaign two RC F GT3 vehicles starting with the 2019 Rolex 24 At Daytona.[29][30] The partnership evolved from a co-entry arrangement with AIM Autosport during the 2019 and 2020 seasons to full operational independence for Vasser Sullivan Racing beginning in 2021, after the organizations parted ways in late 2020.[26] This shift allowed Vasser Sullivan to manage in-house engineering, logistics, and race preparation for the Lexus program, enhancing its focus on GT3 competition.[8] Commercial aspects of the alliance include integrated sponsorships, such as the title role of Mouser Electronics, which has supported the No. 12 and No. 14 entries since 2022 in collaboration with manufacturer partner Molex, emphasizing electronics innovation through motorsport branding.[31][32] Since the partnership's inception in 2019, the team has achieved 15 wins, 48 podium finishes, and 26 pole positions through the 2025 season.[8] The Lexus RC F GT3, central to the program, features a naturally aspirated 5.4-liter V8 engine derived from the production RC F's 2UR unit, producing over 500 horsepower while complying with FIA GT3 regulations on weight, aerodynamics, and power output.[33][34] For IMSA's endurance formats, the car incorporates adaptations such as enhanced fuel systems, reinforced braking components, and adjustable aerodynamics to handle races up to 24 hours, ensuring reliability under Balance of Performance constraints.[35][36]2019–2022 Seasons
Vasser Sullivan Racing made its debut in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2019 under the AIM Vasser Sullivan banner, fielding two Lexus RC F GT3 entries in the GTD class: the No. 12 and No. 14. The partnership with AIM Autosport enabled the team's entry into endurance racing, leveraging Lexus's support for the program. The season's highlight was a second-place finish in the GTD class at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, marking a strong start despite the learning curve of the new alliance. Overall, the team secured three podium finishes and ended the year eighth in the GTD team standings.[37][38][28] The 2020 season continued the AIM partnership amid significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic, which shortened the IMSA calendar and rescheduled multiple events. The team adapted to the condensed schedule, achieving podium results including a victory at Road America and another at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. These successes contributed to a third-place finish in the GTD standings for the No. 14 entry, while the No. 14 secured the IMSA WeatherTech Sprint Cup title. The year's challenges highlighted the team's resilience, with drivers like Jack Hawksworth and Aaron Telitz providing consistent performances.[39][40][41][42] In 2021, Vasser Sullivan split from AIM Autosport at the end of 2020 and relocated its operations to the Charlotte, North Carolina area to centralize near key motorsports resources and talent. This move allowed the team to operate independently while maintaining the two-car Lexus effort in GTD. The season marked progressive improvement, with the introduction of a third entry, the No. 17 Lexus RC F GT3, expanding the program. Key victories included class wins at Watkins Glen International and Virginia International Raceway, demonstrating enhanced setup and driver synergy.[26][43] The 2022 campaign showcased Vasser Sullivan's growing maturity, with strong mid-season form yielding multiple podium finishes across the entries. Drivers Jack Hawksworth in the No. 14 and Frankie Montecalvo in the No. 12 established greater consistency, contributing to competitive points battles in GTD. The expanded lineup, including the No. 17, allowed for deeper driver rotation in endurance events, further solidifying the team's infrastructure gains from the prior year's relocation.[1][44]2023 Championship Success
In 2023, Vasser Sullivan Racing elevated its program by shifting the No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3 into the newly introduced GTD Pro class, pairing British drivers Jack Hawksworth and Ben Barnicoat for the full season while adding Kyle Kirkwood for endurance events.[45][46] The duo delivered consistent excellence, securing two class victories—at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach and Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen—along with seven additional podium finishes across the 11-race IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship schedule, culminating in nine top-three results overall.[45] This performance included strong showings at the season's opening endurance races, with a third-place finish at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and second at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.[47] The No. 14's reliability and speed propelled Vasser Sullivan to its first IMSA championship titles, claiming the GTD Pro drivers', team, and manufacturers' crowns—marking the inaugural such honors for both the team and Lexus in this professional driver class.[46][45] Supporting this triumph, the No. 12 Lexus RC F GT3 campaigned in the GTD class with drivers Parker Thompson, Frankie Montecalvo, and Aaron Telitz, achieving a class win at Watkins Glen and additional podiums, including second at Daytona and third at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, to finish eighth in the GTD standings.[1][48] The season underscored Vasser Sullivan's overall dominance, as the team's Lexus entries accumulated 18 pole positions in IMSA competition by year's end since partnering with the manufacturer in 2019.[8] This breakthrough not only solidified the team's reputation as a top contender in GT racing but also attracted heightened sponsorship interest and set a strong foundation for defending the titles in subsequent years.[45][49]2024–2025 Seasons
Following their 2023 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD Pro title win, Vasser Sullivan Racing entered the 2024 season as defending champions with the No. 12 and No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3 entries, aiming to build on prior success amid heightened competition. The campaign delivered mixed results, highlighted by a class victory in the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring for the No. 14 car driven by Jack Hawksworth, Ben Barnicoat, and Kyle Kirkwood, marking a strong rebound from a challenging Rolex 24 at Daytona where the team encountered reliability issues leading to a retirement. Additional strong performances included a runner-up finish for the No. 14 at the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, but ongoing mechanical challenges, such as at Daytona and other endurance events, hampered consistency across the 11-round schedule. Despite these hurdles, the team secured multiple podiums and finished fifth in the GTD Pro teams' championship with 2,859 points.[50][51][52][53] On January 8, 2025, Vasser Sullivan announced its driver lineup for the season, pairing Ben Barnicoat with Aaron Telitz as full-time drivers for the No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3 in GTD Pro, while Jack Hawksworth teamed with Parker Thompson for the No. 12 entry. For IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup races, Kyle Kirkwood joined the No. 14 squad, and Frankie Montecalvo supported the No. 12, with the team occasionally fielding a No. 17 Lexus for select endurance events featuring Kirkwood and Montecalvo to bolster depth. This reshuffling aimed to leverage experienced talent across both cars, splitting the prior championship duo of Hawksworth and Barnicoat to optimize performance in the pro-am professional class.[54][2] The 2025 season saw Vasser Sullivan pursue podium contention early, with the No. 12 securing second place in GTD Pro at the Rolex 24 at Daytona after a competitive run led by Hawksworth and Thompson, though the No. 14 fell short of the top three due to late-race traffic. At Watkins Glen's Sahlen's Six Hours, the No. 12 came agonizingly close to victory, leading late before a mechanical issue dropped it to fourth, underscoring persistent reliability efforts in endurance formats. The campaign concluded at the Motul Petit Le Mans on October 13, where both cars delivered top-six finishes—the No. 14 in sixth and the No. 12 on the podium in third—helping the team to fifth in the final GTD Pro teams' standings. Overall, these results contributed to Lexus placing seventh among GTD Pro manufacturers.[1][55][56][57]Results
Complete IndyCar Series results (KVSH Racing)
KVSH Racing entered the IndyCar Series as a partnership between KV Racing Technology and James Sullivan starting in 2011, fielding primarily the No. 11 and No. 21 entries (with occasional No. 78 in 2013). The team ran Chevrolet engines from 2012 onward and achieved competitive results on road and street courses, though oval performance varied. Over six seasons, KVSH secured 5 wins, 22 podium finishes, and 14 pole positions, with one victory at the Indianapolis 500 (Tony Kanaan in 2013) and several top-10 finishes there, including ninth for Sébastien Bourdais in 2016.[3][58] The team's year-by-year performance is summarized below, focusing on primary drivers, total starts across entries, wins, podiums (top-3 finishes), poles, total points earned by drivers, and key driver standings.

Complete Global Rallycross Championship results (SH Rallycross)
SH Rallycross entered the Global Rallycross Championship (GRC) in 2013, initially as a partnership with DRR for a single event, before expanding to a full-season effort in subsequent years with Ford Fiesta ST entries in the Supercar class. The team, led by Jimmy Sullivan, focused on high-performance off-road racing, achieving notable success with drivers like Scott Speed and Nelson Piquet Jr., though it never secured a drivers' or teams' championship.

Complete IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship results - No. 17 Lexus RC F GT3
The No. 17 Lexus RC F GT3 was introduced by Vasser Sullivan Racing in 2021 following the team's split from AIM Autosport at the end of 2020, marking an expansion from their core two-car program to include occasional guest entries for endurance races and opportunities to evaluate emerging talent.[26] This supplementary car has been deployed selectively, primarily in key events like the Rolex 24 at Daytona and Petit Le Mans, with drivers such as Kyle Kirkwood and Frankie Montecalvo sharing stints to build experience and contribute to the team's development efforts. The No. 17 has recorded notable successes in its limited outings, including a class victory at the 2022 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, where Ben Barnicoat and Kyle Kirkwood capitalized on strategic pit stops to secure the win in the GT Daytona (GTD) class—their first career GTD triumph and Vasser Sullivan's first of the season.[101] At the 2022 Lexus Grand Prix at Mid-Ohio, Aaron Telitz and Frankie Montecalvo piloted the car to a third-place GTD finish after leading briefly, though incidents impacted their final position.[102]| Year | Race | Drivers | Grid | Laps | Result | Notes |
