Hanley Motorsports to enter IMSA SportsCar Championship in 2027

Hanley Motorsports Incorporated (HMI) has announced it will enter the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and Michelin Pilot Challenge series in 2027. The team has purchased the assets of Paul Miller Racing, a multi-time IMSA class champion, with DXDT Racing providing key assets to the organisation.

Team owner Robert Hanley began his racing career as a mechanic, driver and car owner on dirt ovals across the Rocky Mountain region, including three trips to the Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Family commitments and his business interests later led him to step away from racing, before he returned by purchasing a Porsche GT3 Cup car.

He then competed in Carrera Cup North America, with his son Daniel joining him as his technician. Hanley later founded Hanley Motorsports in the Pirelli GT4 America series, where Daniel drove a Toyota GR Supra GT4 alongside reigning Carrera Cup North America Pro champion Parker Thompson.
