“I am very excited to join the Wayne Taylor Racing family and the championship IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar for Daytona, Sebring and Petit Le Mans, Stevens said. This team is very respected and I have always wanted to be a part of it. IMSA is a huge and growing motorsport market and it’s a relationship I want to build on for the future. I've known Ricky, Filipe and Alexander a little bit over the last few years, so it's good to already have that relationship with the guys. It is an honor to be part of this exceptional team and contribute to this year’s success. »
