March 14, 2024Mouser Electronics, Inc., the New Product Introduction (NPI) leader™ empowering innovation, is excited to cheer on the Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Presented by Cadillac on March 16 in Sebring, Florida.

The Twelve Hours of Sebring will be the second race of the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, as the action got started back in January at the Rolex 24 At Daytona. The Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team will be looking to bounce back after a challenging start to the season. The Sebring International Raceway is 3.74 miles long and has 17 corners. It is one of the oldest continuously operating racetracks in North America and was originally built as part of Hendricks Army Airfield, a WWII training base for B-17 pilots. The track's most defining feature is its famous, high-speed "Turn 17," a long, bumpy, fast right-hander that can make or break a car's speed down the front straight. It is also known as "Sunset Bend" because as night falls on the 12-hour race, drivers are looking right into the setting sun heading into the turn.

The 2024 season marks the sixth season Lexus and Vasser Sullivan have partnered together. The No. 14 Vasser Sullivan Lexus entry will be piloted by drivers Jack Hawksworth and Ben Barnicoat, while Parker Thompson and Frankie Montecalvo will pilot the No. 12 entry. Kyle Kirkwood and Aaron Telitz join the driver pairs in the No. 14 and 12 cars for select IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship endurance races this season.

Mouser and valued manufacturer partner Molex co-sponsor the Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team, seeing the opportunity as an inventive way to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies.
