Matt McMurry – Driver
“I’m happy to be going back to the Glen, one of my all-time favorite tracks. With Gabriel joining us again, we will have a very strong lineup that will hopefully let us get back into the points lead.”
Gabriel Aubry – Driver
“I’m really excited to come back to IMSA and United States! I enjoyed my first experiences in this championship at Daytona and Sebring even though our results did not show our full potential. The team is on a high after Mid-Ohio, and we are looking to keep it that way.”
Eric Lux – Driver
“I’m excited to rejoin PR1 Motorsports, Bobby Oergel and teammates, Matt McMurry and Gabriel Aubrey for the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen! While I wish there were more LMP2 entries to race against, I’m confident that class will grow considerably next season. LMP2 offers some of the most exciting racing in endurance racing. Securing back to back LMP2 wins and at this iconic event would be terrific for the team! My best result in the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen was third place in 2009 in the GT category.”
