DXDT Racing Joins IMSA GTD Class in 2025

DXDT Racing is ready to take on a new challenge as the team today announced it will be competing in the GTD class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship beginning in 2025. The team will continue its very successful relationship with Chevrolet and Corvette as part of the customer racing program, campaigning the No. 36 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R in a full-season effort.

DXDT joins IMSA after a very strong 2024 season in GT World Challenge America. Competing in the Pro and Pro-Am classes, the team took a total of 10 (tbc) class victories between the two cars, including eight (tbc) consecutive Pro class wins, a series record.

Now, the team is ready to tackle its toughest challenge yet. Competing in world-renowned races like the Rolex 24 At Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring and Petit Le Mans is something that team owner David Askew says has always been in his plans for the team.

“​​I'm really excited to take what is a big step for DXDT to compete in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in GTD next year,” Askew said. “I began racing and working on building this team with the idea of eventually getting to IMSA, and everything that I've been doing over the past 10 years has been designed to help me achieve that goal. Erin Gahagan as the team manager has been instrumental in helping make this happen, and with the addition of Bryan Sellers to our front office, I think that we now have the right footing to take this step.

“The relationship that we've been building with GM and Pratt Miller is a big part of what we needed to compete successfully at the highest level. What we’ve done this year has shown us that, together, we can fight for podiums and wins anywhere we go. I'm looking forward to many years racing in the IMSA WeatherTech series. This is a huge turning point for the team, I can't wait to see what happens in the future.”

Sellers, who himself has won two championships in IMSA’s GTD class, echoed Askew’s sentiments.

“This is a very exciting time for everybody at DXDT Racing,” he said. “This is something that David [Askew] has aspired to do for quite a long time, and it's something that we are all very much looking forward to getting the opportunity to do. 
We've been trying to put this program together for a couple of years now and have just been waiting for the right time and the right partnership. Being able to pair with GM and Pratt Miller has given us the ability to move into this new program with confidence in what we're capable of, while also being able to rely on their capabilities as well. We're all very excited about the opportunity to grow the program in one of the best sports car racing series in the world.
”

DXDT will be joining Corvette’s storied history at the top level of American sports car racing. The marque, which began racing as a factory effort in 1999 before starting the customer program in 2024, has won 14 IMSA manufacturer titles and captured 115 class victories in its 26 years.

"We are thrilled to see multiple Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs in IMSA's GTD class for 2025,” said Mark Stielow, Director, Chevrolet Motorsports Competition Engineering. “DXDT Racing proved itself this year in GT World Challenge with double-digit victories across the Pro and Pro-Am classes in the first year with our Corvette GT3. We're proud to support David Askew and DXDT Racing as they continue pursuing their goals in becoming a well-established and successful team across multiple series in sports car racing.”

The team will kick off its IMSA campaign at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January. More information regarding driver lineups will be shared at a later date.
