"Congratulations to the entire Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team on an outstanding season. Our compliments to drivers Jack and Ben for their GTD PRO title wins and to Aaron and Frankie for taking third place in the championship for GTD class," said Todd McAtee, Senior Vice President, Business Development for Mouser Electronics. "What a thrilling year. We are so proud to support this talented group."

The GTD PRO team scored two victories throughout the season, with an additional seven podiums to sweep the driver, team and manufacturer championships. Hawksworth also led the GTD PRO class with four pole positions this year. This marks the first full-season IMSA GT titles for Lexus and Vasser Sullivan, as well as for Hawksworth and Barnicoat. Endurance racers Kyle Kirkwood and Mike Conway also contributed to the manufacturer's title with endurance race starts in the Lexus RC F GT3 this season.

Additionally, drivers Aaron Telitz and Frankie Montecalvo finished the 2023 season in third place in the IMSA GTD championship with 2927 points. They were joined by endurance racer Parker Thompson during the four endurance events this year. The highlight of the season for the GTD drivers came at Watkins Glen International in June when the trio dominated and won the six-hour endurance event, giving the Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team the first double victory in program history.

The 2023 IMSA season marked the fifth year Lexus and Vasser Sullivan have partnered together. During that time, the Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3s have earned an impressive 13 wins, 39 podiums and 18 pole positions. Mouser and valued manufacturer partner Molex co-sponsor the Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team, seeing the opportunity as an inventive way to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies.

The 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season will kick off on January 27 and 28, with the Rolex 24 at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona, Florida.
