Finn Wiebelhaus is set to join McCumbee McAleer Racing for the final three races of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season aboard the No. 13 Ford Mustang GT4, following the sudden departure of co-leading championship driver Nate Cicero.
Wiebelhaus has made his name in Europe, competing in GT World Challenge, ADAC GT Masters and DTM. The 20-year-old German driver has been aligned with Haupt Racing Team (HRT) throughout his sportscar career and is a former winner of the FIA Motorsport Games GT Cup for Team Germany. In 2025, Wiebelhaus became a Ford Racing GT3 junior driver and went on to win the ADAC GT Masters championship with HRT in his GT3 debut.
This weekend’s race at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) marks Wiebelhaus’ first professional sportscar race in the United States. He will pair with current drivers’ championship leader Robert Noaker as the program continues its push for the teams’ championship.
“We are happy to welcome a talent like Finn to the MMR family for the final stretch of the season,” Chad McCumbee, Co-Owner of McCumbee McAleer Racing said. “He has already proven himself as a top-tier competitor in Europe, and his experience within the Ford Racing ecosystem makes him a perfect fit for our program. The team has done an incredible job putting the No. 13 Mustang at the top of the GS class standings, and by adding Finn’s speed and racecraft, we are putting our best foot forward to bring home the championship.”
“I am excited to join McCumbee McAleer Racing and make my IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge debut,” Wiebelhaus said. “Transitioning to the American circuits is a thrilling new challenge, and to do it with a championship-leading team in the Ford Mustang GT4 is a massive opportunity. I’ve been watching the team’s success closely, and I am ready to get to work with Robert and the entire MMR crew to help secure the GS title. I can’t wait for the green flag at VIR!”
Saturday’s Virginia Is For Racing Lovers Grand Prix is set to take place at 2:15 p.m. ET, live on Peacock, IMSA.tv and IMSA’s official YouTube channel.
