The 2026 season is set to be a highly exciting one for the Kellymoss organization, as they enter the GT World Challenge America powered by AWS championship with three Porsche 911 GT3 R entries in the Pro-Am class. The team is coming into the year with momentum on their side, stepping into one of the most competitive GT series in North America and equipped with new EVO kits, high ambitions, and experienced leadership.
Returning Kellymoss Porsche Sprint Challenge and Porsche Endurance Challenge champion Michael Clark is moving up into GT World Challenge competition, paired alongside proven multi-time champion Colin Braun, whose success at the highest levels of sports car racing brings immediate depth and perspective to the program. With Clark’s rapid rise and Braun’s international achievements, including coveted wins at the 24 Hours of Daytona, the Spa 24 Hours, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, this duo will certainly be ones to watch.
“I’m very excited to be racing this season with Kellymoss in SRO’s GT World Challenge America,” stated Michael Clark. “We are looking to build on our 2024 championship year and bring it to the next level. Being a part of this team has been a privilege, and I’m looking forward to what the next year ahead will bring.”
“I’m really looking forward to kicking off the SRO America season with Kellymoss and Michael,” added Colin Braun. “ Having driven for Bill Riley for many years in SRO, this feels a lot like home in many ways. What Andy has built is very impressive and I’m looking forward to delivering continued success. Michael has done an excellent job of adapting to the car and his work ethic is incredible. I’m confident we will achieve some great things together for Kellymoss. I know it will be an intense season with stout competition, making it more fun. I cannot wait to get to Sonoma!”
Another compelling entry sees Kellymoss Porsche Carrera Cup driver Todd Parriott join forces with Kellymoss champion Riley Dickinson, who is widely regarded as the strongest American contender for a future Porsche factory role. Dickinson brings an exceptional record of success, highlighted by multiple Porsche Carrera Cup North America championships and proven performance at the highest levels of sports car racing, including victories at venues such as Daytona and Road Atlanta in Michelin Pilot Challenge competition.
“I’m extremely excited to start this new chapter in my career, but also for Kellymoss in GT World Challenge America competition,” said Riley Dickinson. “ We have a great team assembled to take on this championship and put our best foot forward from the very start of this campaign. I’m looking forward to working with Todd Parriott this season as well. He has shown tremendous growth over the years, cutting his teeth in the Porsche GT3 Cup machinery, and he has proven that he is ready to make the step up. The SRO platform has proven to be a great place for both GT3 and GT4 competition in America. With the format for GTWCA this year going towards an endurance-based championship, it has brought in a lot of interest into the series which is going to make for some quite entertaining racing to watch on track for the fans.”
“Moving into SRO with Kellymoss is an important next step for me,” said Todd Parriott. “ Each season has been about raising the bar, and I am ready to learn, grow, and push myself at this next level.”
The pairing share similar roots in SRO America, having both competed and succeeded in Pirelli GT4 America, and they are preparing to take their experience and skills to the next level. With an understanding of the execution, discipline, and consistency required to succeed across demanding SRO America race weekends, they will look to leverage their extensive background knowledge to their maximum benefit.
Rounding out the Kellymoss GT World Challenge America effort is John Gilliland, the newly crowned Porsche Endurance Cup Champion. Gilliland will be teaming up with Kellymoss champion and 2025 overall Porsche Cup Champion Loek Hartog, who earned the recognition of being the most successful independent Porsche driver on a global scale. Their aligned competitive standards and evolution as racers represents their ability to rapidly progress through the ranks, and this year will be no different.
“I am so honored to have the opportunity to race the top level GT3 car for 2026 with my pro driver, Loek Hartog,” admitted John Gilliland. “ Our objective is to be competing for the top step of the podium in this championship. Thank you to everyone at Kellymoss for their ongoing support and guidance in my racing career. Let’s do this!”
His teammate Loek echoed the sentiment, “I’m really excited to be back with my Kellymoss family after an incredibly successful effort with them in Porsche Carrera Cup North America in 2024. This season, I’m stepping up to GT3 with them, a category where I’ve gained a lot of experience over the past two years. With more than 30 GT3 race weekends behind me, I’m looking forward to bringing everything I’ve learned into the team and partnering with John as he begins his first year in GT3 competition. I have a lot of trust in him and in the entire Kellymoss group, and I’m excited about racing in the new GT World Challenge America format. I can’t wait to line up on the grid at Sonoma and see how we continue to progress throughout the year.”
With seven stops on the GT World Challenge America calendar, the drivers and team will face off across six different three-hour races before heading into the season finale Indianapolis 8 Hour, which will see the grid merge with Intercontinental GT Challenge teams as well. Each Kellymoss entry will thus welcome a third driver for the endurance classic, all of whom will be announced at a later date.
“The evolution of our SRO program is strengthened by the direct involvement of our sister company, Riley Inc, whose endurance racing legacy and advanced engineering elevate our long term commitment to perform and grow in increasingly competitive environments,” concluded Victoria Thomas, Principal and Chief Business Officer at Kellymoss.
