Fogarty Lands Action Express Ride for Sebring
Fogarty holds the record for pole positions in Daytona Prototype qualifying (25) and has amassed 16 IMSA victories. He also won the 2007 and 2009 Driver Championships.
He became available after his GAINSCO Racing squad elected to focus on the 2015 season following an accident during the Rolex 24 At Daytona involving his co-driver Memo Gidley.
“I’m super excited about this opportunity with Action Express Racing," said Fogarty. “It’s an unfortunate situation we found ourselves in after Daytona, but the opportunity to go and participate at Sebring with Action Express Racing in such a big and historic event is great.
“I was bummed about the possibility of missing the event but then this opportunity came along with a great team. Action Express has proven its ability to win longer events and shorter events and their track record in the endurance races is quite good so it’s a great opportunity.
“I’m very happy that it came about. The Frisselles have been in the series for a long time and I’ve competed against them for years. They are strong competitors on the track and have even stronger character off the track. Being able to team up with them is great – I know we’ll have a great team relationship.
“Their result of third at Daytona was strong and they are in a great position heading into Sebring so it is great to join that duo."
