MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Vasser Sullivan Lexus standout and reigning IMSA GTD PRO champion Jack Hawksworth will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, in the Tricon Garage No. 1 Mobil 1 Toyota.
In his eighth season of full-time IMSA competition, the 33-year-old has tallied 11 wins, 10 poles and 25 podiums while capturing championships in the IMSA GTD Sprint Cup and GTD PRO categories. The Lexus Racing factory driver has also secured high-profile victories in the RC F GT3, including Lexus and Vasser Sullivan’s first win in the GTD PRO category at Road America in Wisconsin and the first endurance victory at the 2022 Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta.
In addition to his expansive sports car résumé, Hawksworth competed in three full-time NTT IndyCar Series seasons, earning a podium at the 2014 Grand Prix of Houston.
The Bradford, U.K. native also made a NASCAR Xfinity Series start in 2019 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for Joe Gibbs Racing, qualifying on the outside front row, earning a stage win and finishing 15th.
“I’m super stoked to be joining Tricon Garage and piloting the No. 1 Mobil 1 Toyota Tundra at COTA,” said Hawksworth. “The truck looks awesome. I’m looking forward to stepping back into the NASCAR world, working with the team leading up to the race weekend and then going out there and getting after it. COTA is a fun, technical track and one that should be challenging to tame a stock car at. A big thank you to everyone at TRD, Lexus, Mobil 1 and TRICON for making this possible. I can’t wait to get started!”
