PrattMiller will have a stablemate to contend with at last. Jake Galstad\/Motorsport Images<\/p>\nLongtime Fanatec GT World Challenge America competitor DXDT Racing is joining the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD class in 2025. The team will continue its 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.<\/p>\n
Team owner David Askew has long desired to take on endurance racing, and the team has been positioning itself for such a campaign, including becoming one of the first customer teams to campaign the Z06 GT3.R and recently bringing on driver Bryan Sellers as program manager.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m really excited to take what is a big step for DXDT to compete in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in GTD next year,\u201d Askew said. \u201cI 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.<\/p>\n
“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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
DXDT won every race it entered in the GT World Challenge America Pro category in 2024 with Alec Udell and Tommy Milner driving, up until the Indy 8 Hour \u2013 eight in all \u2013 and claimed the first worldwide win for the Corvette Z06 GT3.R. Sellers and Bryson Morris also took a pair of victories in the Pro-Am category.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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\u2019ve 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,\u201d Askew added.<\/p>\n
Sellers, who has been driving for the team for several years before recently coming on board full-time as program manager, has won two championships in IMSA\u2019s GTD class with Paul Miller Racing. While there wasn’t any indication that he would be part of the GTD driver lineup other than his statement that his new position would \u201callow him to continue driving at a high level,\u201d Sellers echoed Askew’s comments.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a very exciting time for everybody at DXDT Racing,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is something that David 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’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.\u201d<\/p>\n
DXDT will be joining Corvette\u2019s storied history at the top level of American sports car racing. The marque, which began racing as a factory effort in 1999 before launching the customer program in 2024 with its first GT3 car, has won 14 IMSA manufacturer titles and captured 115 class victories in its 26 years.<\/p>\n
“We are thrilled to see multiple Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs in IMSA’s GTD class for 2025,\u201d said Mark Stielow, director, Chevrolet Motorsports Competition Engineering. \u201cDXDT 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
