@ryan_dalziel Looking forward to the announcements for your continued career!

Happy Friyay everyone. I’ve been asked a lot over the last few seasons when will I retire from racing. I’ve always said when that fire stops burning inside to win, or when you’re no longer employed 🤣. Well today I am here to announce that retirement is not even close to happening. Despite only a partial 2025 @IMSA season and currently nothing in IMSA for 2026 I am more determined than ever to get back to IMSA full time. Set backs make you stronger and that fire is burning in my belly stronger than ever. I don’t blame anyone for this other than myself. I think I struggled a little with pace and finding my form in late 2024 season but this year I really found my mojo again in the Ferrari and I’m back to where I was. I will have some racing announcements for 2026 so yes I will be racing but unfortunately my 21st consecutive Rolex 24 is looking very unlikely, although i’ll keep knocking on doors till the green flag flies January 24th. Racing is for sure getting tougher and tougher and of course I am getting older so it’s part of the game. Super proud of my 20 consecutive Rolex 24 starts, and a couple wins along the way 😜 and maybe something will come along for 2026 but just wanted to update everyone since i’ve been asked a few times who I will drive with. #keeppushing #fight #nevergiveup #imsa #rolex24 #daytona

@RickAllenracing @Panthers Congrats, Rick!

Let’s go!! Starting my new role as entertainment PA announcer for @Panthers football games! #KeepPounding

@ryan_dalziel @starworkspeter More like partners in crime! 🤣

@NASCAR_Xfinity I can't say many people made me feel welcomed when I raced in the Truck Series but Wayne was definitely one who did. Thanks, Wayne, for all you did for me and so many others in the sport.

He's one of the most respected and cherished figures in the garage. Join us in saluting Wayne Auton ahead of his final race as the series director of the NASCAR Xfinity Series!

@jordan10taylor Was this a crashfest or something? Why were so many cars so many laps down?

Ended up p7 in the Mx5 cup race tonight. Hard effort from the team.

@jordan10taylor Have fun buddy!

It’s go time! 🤌🏻 #LeMans24 #Ferrari

@_JonWood Congrats Jon!

I’ve tried to figure out what to say about this and rarely do I not have words. It’s a very overwhelming feeling to think about the enormous history and success of this race team and now being a small part of managing it. And having the confidence from the fam to do it. Surreal

Let's get it! #WinningInReverse

@bradxperez Great to see you too!

got to meet one of my heroes today. @Bill_Lester

@jordan10taylor So cool, and thanks for the shoutout. I still remember our win there like it was yesterday.

A little background on the day we had at VIR: youtu.be/4WEmMVopDSI?si…

@stevegordon8 @bobpockrass There's a distinct possibility...

@bobpockrass Great interview Bill , coming to AMS this weekend?

Bill Lester, who made his Cup debut at Atlanta in 2006, on what his parents and others said about him trying to be a professional race-car driver (he left his Hewlett-Packard software engineering job at age 40 pursue a racing career).

@notatypytboy @bobpockrass I couldn't have been all that smart. I left it to go racing! LOL

@bobpockrass Didn't know he worked at HP as a software engineer. Building software is HARD bro must be really smart

@RacerThreads @bobpockrass Thank you!

@bobpockrass His autobiography is a good, fun read 👍

@CraigsCache @bobpockrass It was my pleasure.

@bobpockrass Saw him racing trucks a lot, a handful of Grand Am Rolex Sports car races and his cup race at Michigan. Got his cup die cast autographed at a Rolex race, asked a crew member if he could sign & they got him. Was super nice about it even though we were bugging him during down time

Had fun on this podcast. Check it out! #bhm2024 #WinningInReverse youtu.be/oak7t7Sa4xw

@JRWeigand @DWRshow I worked with Les a lot once I was finally on board, but focused the story on those who were key to my getting the Toyota ride in the first place.

"Tell-All book"? No, more like motivational memoir, but I get it. #NASCAR essentiallysports.com/nascar-news-fo…

@Julie_Butcher @serendipitylit Yes, that's true as well.

@Bill_Lester @serendipitylit They won’t help honey. The success depends on the ability of whoever optioned the rights to get backing for film.

The rights to my story, from "Winning In Reverse", have recently been optioned for cinematic consideration! Since more book reviews would help the vision become reality, if you are a verified purchaser of the book on Amazon, please drop a review. Thank you! #letsmakeamovie

@JonHarney @donaldglover Since I know neither of them, maybe you can give me some insight as to what you're implying?

@Bill_Lester Yo go talk to @donaldglover and his boy Hiro Murai.
