Mouser-Sponsored Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing Team Heads to Sebring for Next IMSA Race

March 10, 2022 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, will be cheering on the Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team in the second race of the season at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring (Florida) on March 19.

Mouser is teaming up with Molex LLC to sponsor both the No. 14 Vasser Sullivan-Lexus RC F GT3 GTD PRO Class and the No. 12 Vasser Sullivan-Lexus RC F GT3 GTD Class entries for the 2022 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season. Team drivers for the season include Jack Hawksworth, Kyle Kirkwood and Ben Barnicoat in the No. 14 car and Townsend Bell, Richard Heistand, Frank Montecalvo and Aaron Telitz in the No. 12 car.

The team delivered a strong showing at the opening race of the season, the Rolex 24 at Daytona, where they scored a fourth-place finish in the Pro class and led several laps throughout the race.

The Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring offers a long weekend of racing action, with two days of practice and qualifying sessions leading up to the 12-hour race on Saturday. Sebring International Raceway will play host to the festivities which is a 3.74-mile-long track boasting 17 corners.

Mouser previously sponsored the Vasser Sullivan IndyCar team, seeing the opportunity as an inventive way to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies; since then, the Mouser and Molex relationship with Vasser Sullivan has bred success, having won the Indianapolis 500 and producing multiple wins and podiums with Vasser Sullivan IndyCar.

The 2022 season will mark the fourth season Lexus and Vasser Sullivan have partnered together. During that time, the Lexus RC F GT3 has earned seven GTD class wins, 18 podiums and nine pole positions.

After Sebring, the team heads to Long Beach, California, for the Acura Grand Prix on April 9, followed by eight more races before the finale at Motul Petit Le Mans, September 28–October 1 in Atlanta.
