DXDT Racing has announced that Salih Yoluc and Charlie Eastwood will join Alec Udell to form the team’s endurance lineup for its debut IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.

Yoluc, Eastwood and Udell will share the No. 36 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R for the five Michelin Endurance Cup rounds next year, beginning with January’s Rolex 24 at Daytona.

A team spokesperson told Sportscar365 that the three drivers will only pilot the car for the longer races, with a different lineup for the six sprint rounds to be confirmed at a later date.

The fourth driver for the Daytona season opener, meanwhile, also is yet to be announced, with the team currently in the process of ‘evaluating options’ for the seat.

“We’re thrilled with our IMSA Endurance Cup driver lineup for the 2025 season,” said team owner David Askew.

“Salih has a very impressive résumé and has found success around the world in different disciplines and series. I’m sure he’ll bring a lot to the team and we’re excited for him to join.

“Charlie has proven his ability, and he knows his way around the car better than almost anybody. Factory drivers bring so much to the table, and we’re sure Charlie is no different.

“With Alec, we already know we have a great driver who can make the difference for us down the stretch in these endurance races. He’s proven his speed, and he knows this car and team like the back of his hand.

“There’s no one better suited to join us in this next stage of DXDT Racing.”
