In addition to its entry in the main event of the weekend, the Muscle Milk squad will also be taking part in its first IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama races at Sebring International Raceway with German driver Mark Bullitt in the Platinum class of the series.
Bullitt, who has mostly competed in historic races in the United States and overseas, will be making his debut in the North American racing series that features two 45-minute events at Sebring.
With four days of testing under his belt aboard the #6 Muscle Milk Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, Bullitt is ready to take on his new challenge and is confident heading into the first race of the season that he can come out with a good result.

“I’m looking forward to the first race of the season, especially since it is on one of my favorite tracks. I have done quite a few laps at Sebring and racing on that old concrete is special.
“I like the history of Sebring and everything that comes with it. But more than that I love those high-speed turns. It is a tough track for both the car and driver, but that’s what makes it so special.
“It has been a long off-season and now it is time to go racing again. We had a couple good test sessions and I was able to familiarize myself quite a bit with the Muscle Milk Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car so now I’m very excited for the season to begin.
“Racing on the same weekend as the 12 hours of Sebring is a true highlight and a unique setting. With a total of 40 cars in the GT3 Cup Challenge field, I’m certain we will be able to put on a good show for the race fans.
“I’m ready to take on this new challenge. I’m surrounded by a great group of people on the Muscle Milk team and we have a great car so I’m going to go out there and do my best. I can’t wait to see that green flag drop.”
The Muscle Milk Team CytoSport driver along with the remainder of the 40-car field will be on track Thursday, March 17 at 5:05 p.m. ET for Race #1, with Race #2 going green at 4:20 p.m. ET on Friday, March 18. Live timing and scoring will be available for all on-track sessions at www.imsachallenge.com.
