Tower Motorsports, the reigning LMP2 class champions in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship has named their lineup for the Rolex 24 at Daytona (Fla.).
NTT IndyCar Series drivers Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin, along with INDY NXT driver Kyffin Simpson and John Farano will complete Tower’s lineup.
Two-time IndyCar champion and Team Penske driver Newgarden will be making his maiden run in the historic event.
“This is definitely an event that was on my bucket list, along with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, so I am beyond grateful for this opportunity,” Newgarden said. “We’re a group of very competitive people, and we all want to win. I think this is a very exciting challenge and I believe this team can accomplish great things together. I have a close relationship with Scott (McLaughlin) as well and I couldn’t be happier to be doing this with him as teammates.”
McLaughlin, three-time Australian Supercars champion and multi-time IndyCar winner with Team Penske, will also be making his first start in the Rolex 24.
“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to race with this amazing group of drivers,” McLaughlin said. “This is a stellar lineup and a perfect chance to show what we can do together. This is a proven crew that clearly knows how to win races, and that’s exactly what we’re setting out to accomplish at Daytona.”
