Mouser-Sponsored Vasser Sullivan Lexus Team Earns Another Podium Finish at IMSA Northeast Grand Prix

July 20, 2022 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the New Product Introduction (NPI) leader™ empowering innovation, congratulates the Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team on their exciting third-place finish in the GTD PRO class at this past weekend’s Northeast Grand Prix. Drivers Jack Hawksworth and Ben Barnicoat piloted the No. 14 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3 PRO to the team’s sixth podium spot of the season. Additionally, Frankie Montecalvo nabbed his second-consecutive pole position in the No. 12 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3 car and went on to lead the GTD class for 114 total laps.

“We congratulate Jack, Ben, Frankie and the entire Vasser Sullivan Lexus team on a thrilling racing spectacle this weekend,” said Todd McAtee, Mouser’s Vice President of Americas Business Development. “This has been such an exciting season, and with races like this it’s easy to see why. Mouser is proud to have a role in promoting the high-tech and fast-paced performance of the Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team!”

Mouser has teamed up with Molex LLC to sponsor the No. 12 and No. 17 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3 GTD Class and the No. 14 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3 GTD PRO Class entries for the 2022 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season. Team drivers for the season include Hawksworth, Barnicoat and Kyle Kirkwood in the No. 14 and No. 17 cars and Montecalvo, Townsend Bell, Richard Heistand, and Aaron Telitz in the No. 12 car.

Mouser previously sponsored the Vasser Sullivan IndyCar team, seeing the opportunity as an inventive way to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies; since then, the Mouser and Molex relationship with Vasser Sullivan has bred success, having won the Indianapolis 500 and producing multiple wins and podiums with Vasser Sullivan IndyCar.
