Race Weekend Central

35 Entered for CTSC Sebring 120; Multimatic Motorsports Out

On Wednesday, IMSA released the entry list for the Sebring 120, the second race of the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge season that will run on St. Patrick’s Day at Sebring International Raceway.  35 cars are entered in a somewhat even split between the Grand Sport and Street Tuner classes.

In Grand Sport, the biggest change is that Multimatic Motorsports is not entered with their No. 15 Ford Mustang GT4.  However, there will still be two Ford Mustang GT4’s on the grid as Jade Buford and Scott Maxwell will drive a second entry (No. 60) for KohR Motorsports.  According to Ford Performance’s Lachelle Laney, Multimatic is now focusing on giving customer support for the Ford Mustang GT4 instead of fielding their own entry.  KohR Motorsports will run two full-time entries in the CTSC for the remainder of the season.  It is currently unclear if Buford and Maxwell will drive the No. 60 for the rest of the season, or if another Mustang GT4 may materialize.  An announcement for drivers for the rest of the season is forthcoming.

Also, Jack Roush Jr. is in KohR Motorsports’ No. 59, replacing Cameron Magueri.  Roush will be in the No. 59 for the rest of the season.

Automatic Racing/VOLT Racing has only entered one car for Alan Brynjolfsson and Chris Hall.  The No. 2 entry only briefly practiced in Daytona and ultimately did not start the race.  Automatic Racing’s Aston Martin division is also only running one car, the No. 99.

Also, GMG Racing is not currently listed on the entry list.  In Daytona, the team had two Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsports.

Street Tuner has 18 entries, down from 20 in Daytona.  The two teams that are not entered this week are the No. 6 Porsche Cayman from Rebel Rock Racing and Kris Wright‘s No. 22 Porsche Cayman that is affiliated with Rebel Rock Racing.  Wright will still be busy in Sebring in IMSA Prototype Challenge.

For Murillo Racing, the team raced as a three-car operation at Daytona.  Eric Foss and Jeff Mosing raced the No. 56 while Brent Mosing, Tim Probert and Justin Piscitell drove the new No. 65 Porsche Cayman.  Meanwhile, Christian Szymczak and Christopher Stone raced the No. 43 Porsche Cayman, which had formerly been the No. 38 for the Next Level European team last season.  The No. 43 retired after the windshield was smashed by debris.

For Szymczak and Stone, they’re switching cars for Sebring.  They’ll still be racing for Murillo Racing, but they will race the No. 34 Mazda MX-5.  This particular car was in Daytona on the team’s transporter as a backup car.

The only other driver change of note is with MINI JCW Team.  Nate Norenberg is out of the No. 52.  Jared Salinsky will drive in his place.  In addition, the No. 52 will carry new sponsorship from Fuse Lenses.  With that sponsorship comes a new paint scheme, as seen in this Instagram post from Salinsky’s co-driver, Mark Pombo.
