Mouser-Sponsored Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing Team Tackles IMSA Northeast Grand Prix
July 19, 2023 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, proudly sponsors the Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team and will be cheering them on in the eighth race of the 2023 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season at the FCP Euro Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, Connecticut on July 22.
The Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team will be working to continue their momentum, coming off several podium finishes this season. The full-time driver lineups for Vasser Sullivan Racing include Jack Hawksworth and Ben Barnicoat in the No. 14 Lexus RC F GT3 in the GTD PRO class, with Aaron Telitz and Frankie Montecalvo co-driving the No. 12 Lexus entry in GTD.
The Vasser Sullivan team currently sits in first place in the GTD PRO team standings with 2,110 points and in third place in the GTD team standings with 1,588 points.
Built in 1956, the Lime Rock Park circuit is the nation's third oldest continuously operating road racing venue. The natural terrain road course was constructed over hilly terrain in the Berkshire Mountains, part of the greater Appalachian mountain range. At 1.5 miles of uphill and downhill, the track looks deceivingly simple, but it is immensely challenging to drive quickly. The venue is somewhat unique in that it features no grandstands or bleachers, instead inviting fans to bring chairs and blankets and enjoy the racing from its grassy hillside areas under the shade of trees.
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.
Next, the championship continues at the IMSA Sportscar Weekend at Road America, followed by two more races before the finale at Motul Petit Le Mans on October 14 in Atlanta.
