No 93 Harrison Contracting Company Acura NSX GT3 Evo 22 DRIVER QUOTES:
Ashton Harrison:
“We’re headed to Petit Le Mans for the last race of the year. I’m looking forward to being the back in the IMSA paddock, but even more looking forward to competing at Petit Le Mans for the first time. I’ve been going to this race for the last ten years as a spectator, and for the last two as a driver for WTRAndretti, so I’m proud to be making my debut at a race that has meant so much to me and my career. I’m excited to have over 100 Harrison Contracting Company guests at this event and getting to share this experience with them. Lastly to be back with Kyle and Danny in our Acura NSX with the Racers Edge Motorsports and WTRAndretti team, to spend more time with this great group of people- we’re hoping to finish the year off strong. We’ve had some highs and lows this year with this IMSA program but the pace has always been there, so we’re focused on pushing as hard as we can until the checker.”
Danny Formal:
“This is my first time racing Petit Le Mans; Road Atlanta was my first professional race ever in IMSA competition in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo in Pro-Am back in 2020; got my first pole position at the race there, so I have very good memories and results here. It’s a great track for me. I’m very excited to be back with Asthon, Kyle and the Racers Edge Motorsports with WTR Andretti team in the Acura NSX, and I’m looking forward to finishing the year with a great result.”
Kyle Marcelli:
“Petit Le Mans can’t come soon enough. I love this event. It is ten hours of intense, high speed racing. The circuit is fantastic: fast, flowing and the crowd is always wonderful. I so much look forward to finishing the season with a good result. This program deserves a good result. We started the year off so strong at Daytona and Sebring leading many laps, and earning a pole, up front more often than not, but we’ve yet to fully put it all together for one reason or another. I think the whole team is eager and motivated to have a great finish at Road Atlanta and I hope that we can make that happen.”
