Reigning IMSA Prototype Challenge Drivers Champion Dakota Dickerson has joined Jr III Racing for their Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring lineup in the #30 Airbnb Ligier JS P320. Dickerson joins Ari Balogh and Garett Grist for the team’s first endurance event of the 2022 season.
Dickerson claimed the top title of Champion in IMSA Prototype Challenge last season with five consecutive podium appearances including a victory at Watkins Glen International. Dickerson has also had Championship-winning success in F3 Americas (2019) and F4 United States Championships and brings extensive knowledge of the Ligier platform with 17 starts in the prototype.
“I am excited to be joining Jr III Racing for the Sebring 12 Hours,” said Dickerson. “Being familiar with the Ligier as well as competing against the team, it was an easy yes because I know the quality of the car and the pace are top notch. Our test together went very well and working with Ari (Balogh), Garett (Grist) and the crew came naturally. My goal is to perform and hopefully help bring the No. 30 Airbnb Ligier to victory circle.
The 12 Hours of Sebring is the second-ever endurance event and the third IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship event for Jr III Racing. The team made their first attempt at endurance racing at the 2021 season finale Petit Le Mans. Balogh, Grist and Spencer Pigot combined to take second place after ten hours of racing.
