Kellymoss Returns to IMSA Full Time With Braun and Clark

The team announced a 2027 full-season GTD entry to focus on Porsche GT3 competition while relocating operations toward North Carolina.

Overview

  • Kellymoss announced on Friday, November 6, 2026 that it will return to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship full time in 2027 with the #17 Porsche 911 GT3 R.
  • Colin Braun and Michael Clark will share the car for the full season, with Kyle Marcelli joining for the Michelin Endurance Cup races and a fourth driver for the Rolex 24 to be named later.
  • Braun is moving from top-class GTP prototype racing into GTD following manufacturer shifts in prototype programs, bringing deep IMSA experience to the team.
  • Kellymoss said it will keep its longstanding Porsche customer ties and continue collaborating with Riley while shifting primary operations from Wisconsin toward a new base in North Carolina.
  • Michael Clark will make his IMSA WeatherTech debut as an FIA Bronze-rated driver, and Kellymoss expects the programme to compete at the front while maintaining at least a reduced GT World Challenge America effort in 2027.
