McCumbee McAleer Racing with AEROSPORT will enter IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge competition this year with drivers Chad McCumbee and Jenson Altzman at the wheel of a Ford Mustang GT4.

The longtime Mazda MX-5 Cup entrant will expand into the GS class and rekindle past relationships with both Ford and Multimatic.

“Throughout my career I have been very fortunate to be associated with simply amazing people,” said McCumbee. “Jenson, and his partners are certainly part of that group.

“It goes without saying that Stevan and I are ecstatic to start a GT4 program with AEROSPORT, especially since it will be Jenson’s Michelin Pilot Challenge debut.

“Showcasing the Vervantis Ford at Daytona is just the beginning and I look forward to the building process of this team and strengthening our relationship with Ford and Multimatic.

“The Mustang platform they have developed has proven success and I hope MMR with AEROSPORT can continue to contribute to that this season.”

Due to prior commitments, McCumbee will fill the seat of the No. 13 Vervantis-sponsored Mustang GT4 for all but two rounds, with the team seeking a replacement driver for those events.

Altzman added: “I’m very excited to be back with McCumbee McAleer Racing and continue my career in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge this season. 2023 will be my junior year racing cars, and to be a part of this new program with MMR stepping into IMPC, is a real honor.

“Chad and Stevan have built an amazing MX-5 Cup program; the knowledge and insight they both have shared with me over the past two seasons feels like a lifetime of experience.

“IMPC was the clear next step, and has been a big goal for both myself and the team.”
