– Following a challenging rookie season in professional sports car racing, Era Motorsports will withdraw from the 2020 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in order to focus on building a successful 2021 program. While Merriman is on the road to recovery, the team has elected to sit out the two remaining race rounds in the IMSA LMP2 championship to ensure Merriman’s safety, while also focusing all efforts on next season. “While we’re disappointed to not finish out our first season in sports car racing, this was the right call,” said team owner Kyle Tilley. The 2021 season will see the return of the Indianapolis-based team to professional sports car racing, who currently stand second in the IMSA LMP2 class point standings.
