JUPITER, Fla. — Sean Creech Motorsport has made the decision to forgo next week’s Indianapolis round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship to focus on the Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in October.
In light of Lance Willsey’s decision to suspend his racing career, the team is actively discussing options with alternate sponsors and drivers to contest the season finale with the No. 33 SCM Ligier JS P217.
Team principal Sean Creech remains committed to the SCM team — and the team members who have been with him for as many as 30 years.
“First and foremost, we wish Lance the best,” said Creech. “Going forward, I am absolutely committed to keeping this team going, preferably in the LMP2 category. We’re in discussions with several drivers and sponsors and are open to additional options.”
SCM has proven itself in numerous sports car series, having won two Ferrari Challenge championships (2015 and 2016) and the 2018 IMSA Prototype Challenge (now the VP Racing SportsCar Challenge). In the WeatherTech series, SCM earned a victory in the 2022 Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, and captured three straight second-place finishes in the Rolex 24 at Daytona (2021-2023).
