Eight Drivers & Four Cars For Herta Autosport

BROWNSBURG, Ind. — Bryan Herta Autosport will field four Hyundai Elantra N TCR cars in the 2026 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge.

Lance Bergstein and Harry Gottsacker will wheel the No. 18, with Mason Filippi and Bryson Morris in the No. 33, Preston Brown and Denis Dupont in the No. 76 and Mark Wilkins and Maddie Aust sharing the No. 98 machine.

All eight drivers drove for BHA in 2025, but the only duo that remains on the same car is Dupont and Brown in the No. 76. Collectively, this group achieved five race wins, seven podiums, and six pole positions last season.

BHA is coming off the heels of Team and Driver Championship wins in 2025, their sixth championship title. The No. 98 car brought home the Team Championship, and Harry Gottsacker won his second Driver’s Championship. Hyundai also won the Manufacturer’s title for the sixth year in a row.

“We are excited to represent Hyundai for our eighth consecutive year, and to announce a tremendous driving lineup for the season,” said team owner Bryan Herta. “We feel confident we have the right combination across our four entries to strongly defend Hyundai’s Manufacturer Championship as well as the Team and Driver Championships. 2026 is shaping up to be an amazing season for the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, with strong competition from some familiar teams and manufacturers, as well as some new ones as well.

“We are pleased to have the consistency of all eight drivers being returnees from last year. Looking forward to getting started at Daytona.”

Joining the eight full season drivers for the race in Daytona are Andre Castro, Josh Buchan and Jon Miller.
