Mouser-Sponsored Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing Team Scores Podium Finish in Final IMSA Race of the 2025 Season
October 13, 2025 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the New Product Introduction (NPI) leader™ empowering innovation, congratulates Jack Hawksworth, Parker Thompson, and Frankie Montecalvo, and the Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team on their third-place finish for the GTD class in the Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on October 11. The result marks the fifth time in the last six years that Lexus and Vasser Sullivan have finished on the podium at the 12-turn, 2.54-mile Georgia road course.
"Congratulations to Jack, Parker, and Frankie on their podium win at the Petit Le Mans. The team consistently came together this season to deliver excellent results!" said Todd McAtee, Senior Vice President, Business Development for Mouser Electronics. "This has been a thrilling season, and Mouser and Molex are proud to support the Vasser Sullivan Lexus team."
Montecalvo started the race 11th in the No. 12 Lexus RC F GT3, and the team worked their way up through the field to run in the top five most of the race. Hawksworth piloted the Lexus for the final three hours of the race, holding off competitors to earn the fifth podium result of the 2025 season for the No. 12 team, which finished third in the GTD class.
In the GTD PRO class, Ben Barnicoat, Aaron Telitz, and Kyle Kirkwood earned a sixth-place finish in the season finale at Road Atlanta. Telitz qualified on the front row, and the No. 14 Lexus ran among the top three for the first eight hours of the race. However, contact by a fellow competitor with just under two hours remaining caused a tire puncture and forced Barnicoat to bring the Lexus RC F GT3 to the pit lane. He got back on track, fought back to get on the lead lap, and crossed the finish line in sixth place after 10 hours of racing. The Vasser Sullivan Lexus team ends the season with five podiums, including a double podium in Long Beach, California.
Vasser Sullivan's results on Saturday evening helped Lexus finish fifth in the GTD manufacturer's championship and seventh in the GTD PRO manufacturer's point standings. Mouser and valued manufacturer partner Molex co-sponsor the Vasser Sullivan Lexus Racing team, seeing the opportunity as an inventive way to communicate its performance-driven business model and promote the newest technologies.
