A total of 54 entries are set for next weekend’s Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen, in the third leg of the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup and return to all four categories in action since the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in March.

Released by IMSA on Wednesday, the entry list is comprised of 11 GTP and LMP2 entries each, 12 GTD Pro and 20 GTD cars for the midpoint of the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.

As previously announced, Laurin Heinrich has been drafted into the No. 5 JDC-Miller Motorsports Porsche 963, a race he was originally not slated to do because of his CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa commitments.

Heinrich, who sits second in the GTP points standings, will share the 2025-spec Porsche with Tijmen van der Helm and Kaylen Frederik.

It is one of only two GTP entries with three-driver lineups, the others being the No. 93 Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06, which sees the return of Kaku Ohta alongside Nick Yelloly and Renger van der Zande.

The LMP2 class drops by once since its last outing at Sebring, with the No. 79 JDC-Miller Motorsports Oreca 07 Gibson not present, despite recently testing at Watkins Glen International.

GTD Pro sees the return of the No. 033 Triarsi Competizione and No. 62 Risi Competizione Ferrari 296 GT3 Evos for the first time since Sebring.

James Calado will team up with Riccardo Agostini in the Triarse entry, with Daniel Serra and Davide Rigon in Risi’s Prancing Horse.

Also, as previously revealed, Manthey has overhauled lineups in both its GTD Pro and GTD class Porsche 911 GT3 R Evos due to the clashing 24 Hours of Spa, which has seen Loek Hartog and Michael Christensen join Sebring class winner Klaus Bachler in the No. 911 ‘Grello’ liveried entry.

Additionally, Richard Lietz will sub for Morris Schurig in the team’s No. 912 GTD Porsche with Ryan Hardwick and Riccardo Pera.

There are several other cars with revised lineups because of the Spa clash, including the No. 70 Inception Racing Ferrari, which sees Jaxon Evans in for Frederik Schandorff,

Alec Udell is confirmed in the No. 21 AF Corse Ferrari in the place of Lilou Wadou.

The third driver for the No. 19 Van der Steur Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo, along with Jan Heylen’s co-drivers in the No. 28 RS1 Porsche, meanwhile, have yet to be confirmed.

The only addition in GTD since Sebring is the No. 44 Magnus Racing Aston Martin, which skipped Sebring. Mario Farnbacher joins the lineup alongside team stalwarts Spencer Pumpelly and John Potter.

Track action kicks off on Fri. June 26 with a practice session, followed by second practice and qualifying for Sat. June 27 and the six-hour enduro getting the green flag Sunday at 12:10 p.m. EST, with full race coverage available on Peacock, and for international viewers, on IMSA’s YouTube channel.
