MOORESVILLE, NC (January 12, 2022) – Team Penske announced today that it will field an entry in the 2022 World Endurance Championship (WEC), racing an ORECA 07-Gibson in the LMP2 class. Former IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship drivers Dane Cameron and Felipe Nasr will be joined by veteran sports car racer Emmanuel Collard for the upcoming season.
Team Penske came into 2021 after a NASCAR Cup Series season in which two of the organization’s three drivers made the Championship 4.

Team Penske was hoping to resurface as a top-tier team in 2021 and achieve a better season in terms of final results.

However, the catastrophic end for the Penske group in the Daytona 500 foreshadowed what would ultimately turn out to be a rather difficult season. (more…)
