After confirming its full-season driver lineup on Friday, Acura Meyer Shank Racing with Curb-Agajanian (Acura MSR) has announced its endurance drivers for the upcoming IMSA season – headlined by the return of Rolex 24 At Daytona winner AJ Allmendinger to the team.

Allmendinger will be back behind the wheel of the No. 60 Acura ARX-06 at this year’s Daytona 24 Hours, 13 years after he took overall honours for Michael Shank Racing alongside co-drivers John Pew, Oswaldo Negri Jr., and Justin Wilson. Allmendinger also finished third overall in 2013 and second in GTD in 2018. His last Rolex 24 appearance came in 2021.
