Kellymoss has announced a seven-car effort for the Porsche Deluxe Carrera Cup North America season, including four Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars competing in the Pro class of the single-make series.

The Madison, Wis.-based squad has confirmed the return of Riley Dickinson, Michael McCarthy and Sean Varwig, who will compete alongside newly named Porsche Deluxe Female Driver Development driver Sabre Cook in the top class.

Additionally, Alan Metni and Efrin Castro will return to the Pro-Am ranks, with Tom Balames again competing in the Am category.

“Our stable is full again in 2023 with accomplished and hungry drivers ready to fight for championships,” said team co-owner Andy Kilcoyne.

“We are thrilled to have so many drivers returning as we welcome Sabre into the Kellymoss family.”

Cook won the Kellymoss Female Driver Shootout, a program spearheaded by team co-owner Victoria Thomas that was held at Putnam Park late last year.

“I cannot thank Kellymoss enough for creating the opportunity for me to compete in the Porsche Deluxe Carrera Cup North America for 2023,” Cook said.

“They are the best team in the paddock without question, and it gives me confidence to know I have such a great team to build success with this season.

“I’m so grateful for the support and mentorship from Andy and Victoria, it’s inspiring to see their work ethic and how they’re affecting positive change in the sport.”

Dickinson and McCarthy, meanwhile, will continue to sport Racing for Children’s liveries on their Porsches.

“I’m very excited to be back with Kellymoss, along with the Racing for Children’s organization and Porsche Austin for 2023,” said Dickinson.

McCarthy added: I am excited to be returning with Kellymoss for my second season in Porsche Deluxe Carrera Cup North America. I plan to build on the momentum of last year and fight for the championship.

“Once again I am fortunate enough to represent Racing for Children’s and continue to bring awareness to pediatric cancer and blood disorders.”

Varwig will complete the team’s lineup in Pro.

“The team and I are as focused as ever on making the car go fast this season,” he said. “It’s been a long off season from Carrera Cup for me, but one full of hard work in preparation.

“I can’t wait to get to Sebring and show what we can really do.”

Metni and Castro will return to action after claiming back-to-back championships in Pro-Am.

Metni is set to dovetail his full-time WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD commitments with Kellymoss with Riley alongside another championship-seeking season in Carrera Cup North America.

Balames, meanwhile, will be the team’s sole representative in the Am class.

Carrera Cup North America kicks off its season at the ‘Super Sebring’ event on March 15-17.
