DXDT becomes second Corvette team in IMSA GTD

DXDT Racing, a longtime fan of the Fanatec GT World Challenge, will compete in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD class in 2025. The team will continue its relationship with Chevrolet and Corvette as part of its customer racing program and campaign the No. 36 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R in an all-season effort.

Team owner David Askew has long wanted to get into endurance racing and the team has positioned itself for such a campaign. It became one of the first customer teams to campaign the Z06 GT3.R and driver Bryan Sellers was recently appointed as program manager. .

“I am very excited to take a big step for DXDT next year to compete in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in GTD,” said Askew. “I started racing and working on building this team with the idea of ​​eventually going to IMSA, and everything I’ve done over the last ten years has been designed to help me achieve that goal.

“Erin Gahagan has played an important role as team manager in making this possible, and with the addition of Bryan Sellers to our front office, I believe we now have the right foundation to take this step.”

DXDT won every race it entered in the GT World Challenge America Pro category in 2024 with Alec Udell and Tommy Milner at the wheel, up to the Indy 8 Hour – eight in total – and achieved the first global victory for the Corvette Z06 GT3 .R. Sellers and Bryson Morris also scored a pair of wins in the Pro-Am category.

“The relationship we built with GM and Pratt Miller is a big part of what we needed to compete successfully at the highest level. What we have done this year has shown us that together we can fight for podiums and victories, wherever we are. I look forward to many years of 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,” Askew added.

Sellers, who has been driving for the team for a number of years before recently coming on board full-time as program manager, has won two championships in IMSA’s GTD class with Paul Miller Racing. While there was no indication that he would be part of the GTD driver line-up, other than his statement that his new position would “allow him to continue driving at a high level,” Sellers echoed comments from Askew.

“This is a very exciting time for everyone at DXDT Racing,” he said. “This is something that David has been striving for for a long time, and it is something that we are all very much looking forward to having the opportunity to do.

“We have been trying to put this program together for a few years now and are waiting for the right time and the right collaboration. Being able to work with GM and Pratt Miller has given us the ability to start this new program with confidence in what we are capable of, while also relying on their capabilities. We are all very excited about the opportunity to grow the program in one of the best sports car racing series in the world.”

DXDT will join Corvette’s storied history at the highest level of American sports car racing. The brand, which began racing as a factory effort in 1999 before launching the customer program with its first GT3 car in 2024, has won 14 IMSA manufacturer titles and 115 class victories in its 26 years.

“We are thrilled to see multiple Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs in the IMSA GTD class for 2025,” said Mark Stielow, director of Chevrolet Motorsports Competition Engineering. “DXDT Racing has proven itself in this year’s GT World Challenge with double-digit wins in the Pro and Pro-Am classes in its first year with our Corvette GT3. We are proud to support David Askew and DXDT Racing as they pursue their goals of becoming a renowned and successful team across multiple series in sports car racing.”

The team will announce its driver line-up for the GTD effort at a later date.
