DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. –Â One of the last remaining teams to announce their driver lineup for the 2026 Rolex 24 has finally lifted the veil and confirmed their roster for the season opener.
DXDT Racing, who made their IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship debut at the 2025 Rolex 24 returns for their second full-season IMSA campaign in the GTD category with a re-tooled lineup. Starting off with a change in the lead full-time driver for the Corvette outfit, Mason Filippi is confirmed to be moving over from the Bryan Herta Autosport camp in the Michelin Pilot Challenge to the Corvette Z06 GT3.R in 2026.
Filippi, who made his WeatherTech Championship debut closing the season in the No. 66 Gradient Racing Mustang, will get his first crack at the series’ full schedule.
The team will also retain both Salih Yoluc and Charlie Eastwood for the Rolex 24, as well as a potential Michelin Endurance Cup campaign to be confirmed at a later date.
The fourth and final driver to round out the team will see the return of IndyCar’s Scott McLaughlin for his fourth consecutive crack at the race twice-around-the clock following his run in the incredibly popular Trackhouse Racing by TF Sport No. 91 entry in last year’s rendition of this event.
With this announcement comes a bit of a surprising omission from the lineup, Robert Wickens who competed in the sprint rounds for the team last year, won’t get a crack at the Rolex 24 after taking aim at a full time seat in 2026.
DXDT is looking for a bounce-back second go at the Rolex 24 following a frustrating fire based DNF in last year’s event, making up the expanded five car fleet of Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs for the IMSA season along side Corvette Racing, Dragonspeed and 13 Autosport.
As it currently stands, Filippi’s co-driver for the sprint rounds is unknown.
