Myers Riley Motorsports Unveils New Driver Lineup for 2027 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship

Myers Riley Motorsports is delighted to announce its driver lineup for the 2027 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, with Jarett Andretti and returning driver Felipe Fraga set to lead the team's full-season GTD campaign aboard the No. 16 Allan Myers Ford Mustang GT3. Riley Dickinson will join the team for the Michelin Endurance Cup rounds. 

Entering a new season with a refreshed lineup, Myers Riley Motorsports looks to build on the progress made throughout its 2026 campaign, which saw the team demonstrate promising pace and competitive performances despite a challenging season.

The 2027 program brings together a combination of experience and emerging talent, with the team setting its sights on the prestigious Bob Akin Award, which grants the winning Bronze driver an automatic entry at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2028. 

“The 2027 season represents an exciting opportunity for Myers Riley Motorsports to build on its foundations and pursue even greater ambitions,” said Ross Myers, Team Co-Owner. “The goal extends beyond competing for victories and podium finishes in IMSA. The pursuit of the Bob Akin Award and the opportunity to earn a place at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans are central to the team's ambitions. Welcoming Jarett Andretti to the program also carries special significance, uniting two families with a remarkable motorsports history and an opportunity to write a new chapter together. With a talented driver lineup, a motivated crew, and the experience gained throughout the past season, the foundation is in place. The ambition is clear: succeed in IMSA and, ultimately, carry that momentum onto the international stage in Le Mans.”

“It’s great to be continuing our partnership with Ross Myers for another season with the Allan Myers Ford Mustang GT3,” said Bill Riley. “ I am looking forward to having Felipe Fraga back with us, as he has been an important part of our program for several years. I have also had the opportunity to work with both Jarett Andretti and Riley Dickinson in the past, so I know the talent and dedication they bring to the table. I am excited to bring this group together under one team, and I believe we have a strong lineup to build on the progress we made last season and fight for competitive results in 2027.”

Joining Myers Riley Motorsports as its full-season Bronze-rated driver, Jarett Andretti brings both experience and a family connection to the Riley organization. His father, the late John Andretti, worked alongside race car designer and engineer Bob Riley during the GTP era in the 1980s, adding a meaningful chapter to the longstanding history between the Andretti and Riley families.

"I am very excited to be joining the No. 16 Allan Myers Ford Mustang for the 2027 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season," said Andretti. "My dad worked with Bob Riley back in the 1980s during the GTP era, and I am proud to have the opportunity to continue that connection and create more history alongside the Riley family in 2027. I would like to thank Ross Myers and Allan Myers for making this opportunity possible."

Returning to the team for another season, Felipe Fraga provides valuable continuity to the No. 16 program. The Brazilian driver has maintained a longstanding relationship with the Riley organization, having competed with the team in various programs for over 7 years. His experience, familiarity with the crew, and knowledge of the Ford Mustang GT3 will play an important role as Myers Riley Motorsports enters its second season with the platform.

"I am very happy to be returning for another season with a team that feels like family to me here in the United States," said Fraga. "I have been working with this group across different programs since 2019, and it means a lot to have their continued trust and support. I am looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of the Ford Mustang GT3, and our ultimate goal is to earn an invitation to the 24 Hours of Le Mans."

Riley Dickinson joins Myers Riley Motorsports as its Michelin Endurance Cup endurance driver, bringing additional experience and depth to the team's endurance racing effort. Dickinson has established himself as a competitive force in North American sports car racing and will contribute to the team's pursuit of strong results at the championship's longest and most demanding events.

"I am really looking forward to being part of the Myers Riley program for the 2027 IMSA WeatherTech Michelin Endurance Cup," said Dickinson. "It was great to watch this group from afar last season and see the progress and development they made throughout the year. I'm proud to have the opportunity to join the team and help continue that momentum as we fight for strong results. I am very grateful to Ross and Bill for the opportunity, and I am looking forward to making the most of it and fighting for a championship when we get to Road Atlanta."

The 2027 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season will get underway with the Rolex 24 At Daytona in January, where Andretti, Fraga and Dickinson will share driving duties aboard the No. 16 Allan Myers Ford Mustang GT3 with a fourth driver announced at a later date.
