JOSH PIERSON: DRIVEN

In 2023, Josh will race LMP2 endurance races with co-drivers Tom Blomqvist, Oliver Jarvis, and Giedo van den Garde. He will race for United Autosports in the World Endurance Championship, which includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and for TDS Racing in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup. Josh will also return to open-wheel racing with HMD Motorsports in the Indy NXT by Firestone Championship.

Josh is a talented young driver with a big future ahead of him. His love of motorsports, determination and coachability are strengths that set him apart from his competition.
