Hanley Motorsports to enter IMSA with HMI in 2027

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

Team owner Robert Hanley began his racing career in his teens, working as a mechanic, driver and car owner on dirt ovals across the Rocky Mountain region. He made three trips to the Chili Bowl Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a decade apart. Family and business commitments later led him to step back from racing before returning with a Porsche GT3 Cup car.

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