FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Jan. 6, 2022 Three-time IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge (IMPC) Champions, #bryanherta Autosport (BHA) with Curb Agajanian and Hyundai Motor North America, will return to IMPC competition in 2022. Hyundai and BHA also announced their expanded six-car, Touring Car #racing (TCR), driver line-up today.

“The competition continues to rise in TCR and having our entire 2021 line-up return, while welcoming four new drivers shows we are not taking defending the championship title lightly,” said #bryanherta, president, #bryanherta Autosport. “Thanks to the men and women of BHA who worked hard through the holidays and a short off-season, we are ready to start 2022 stronger than ever.”

Reigning champions #taylorhagler and #michaellewis will return as teammates to defend their title. The pair made their debut as teammates in 2021. Their history-making season saw Hagler become the first woman ever to win the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge title and Lewis the first two-time TCR Champion. New for 2022, Hagler and Lewis will co-drive the #1 Hyundai Elantra N TCR.

2021 Drivers’ champions #taylorhagler and #michaellewis celebrate with the #bryanherta Autosport team and the #77 Hyundai Veloster N TCR after the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Fox Factory 120 race at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Ga., on Friday, Nov. 12, 2021.

Ryan Norman, 2020 IMPC TCR Champion, returns to BHA for his third season. Norman and his 2021 teammate, Parker Chase were the first drivers to take an Elantra N TCR to victory circle in North America. They won at Norman’s home race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. The victory was just the third race for an Elantra N TCR race car. For 2022, Norman will co-drive the #2 Elantra N TCR with AJ Muss of Rumson, N.J. Muss enters his second full season #racing a Hyundai and his first in partnership with BHA. Muss represented the United States in the 2018 winter Olympics in the snowboard parallel giant slalom event and is in the qualifying process for the 2022 games.

Canada’s Mark Wilkins, the 2019 co-champion, returns for his fifth season #racing a Hyundai with BHA. Wilkins and his to-be-announced teammate will co-drive the #33 Elantra N TCR. Wilkins’ run of success #racing for BHA includes eight victories and one championship title.
