As the reigning series champions, Copeland Motorsports is entering the 2024 Toyota GR Cup North America season in the hopes of going two-for-two. Completing a five-driver lineup for the complete season, the Copeland Motorsports outfit brings both new and returning drivers to the GR Cup program as they look to kick the season off victorious at the famed Sonoma Raceway.
“It is always great to start a new season of competition and to do it with the driver lineup that we have put together is exciting,” explained Dean Copeland. “We have drivers that I know can fight for race wins, podium results, the series title as well as Rookie of the Year honors. If we can continue our momentum from 2023, we are in for another great season.”
Making the switch to Copeland Motorsports, Gresham Wagner returns to the series after earning Vice-Championship honors in 2023. Joining the Copeland Motorsports winning program, Wagner has his sights set on a title performance in 2024. Joining Wagner in the Copeland program will be young-gun Westin Workman who ran a single GR Cup race in 2023 at Road America and found himself on the podium. With his goals set high, Workman will pilot the JBL Audio Toyota in his quest for success in 2024.
With a season under her belt, Mia Lovell makes the move to Copeland Motorsports for the upcoming season having shown the speed and determination to fight for race wins during her development year in 2023. Continuing to gain experience, Mia has paced her teammates in preseason testing and has warned the boys to keep their eyes open as she is here for results in 2024.
Running a partial season in 2023 alongside winning races in the Skip Barber Racing Series, Jaxon Bell will make his Copeland Motorsports debut at Sonoma Raceway. Finishing third at Indianapolis in 2023, Bell is aiming high in 2024 as he has slotted into another one of the Copeland Motorsports’ full-time entries.
The fifth and final driver to fly the Copeland Motorsports banner in 2024 will be young 15-year-old Adam Brickley. Making the move from karts to legend cars, Brickley will move into pro racing full-time in 2024 to complete the quintet of drivers. As one of the series rookies, Brickley will not only aim to secure the best results possible and gain experience along the way but also make a solid run at the Rookie of the Year honors when the season concludes in October.
