Tower Motorsports adds Kyffin Simpson to Rolex 24 at Daytona roster

Kyffin Simpson will drive for Tower Motorsports in next month’s Rolex 24 at Daytona, the team confirmed via social media on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old Simpson, who is fresh off contesting a promising second season in the IndyCar Series with Chip Ganassi Racing that included a maiden podium on the Streets of Toronto, completes an LMP2 lineup in Tower’s No. 8 Oreca 07 Gibson that includes the full-time pairing of John Farano and Sebastien Bourdais, along with endurance add-on Sebastian Alvarez.

This will mark a reunion for Simpson, who previously raced with Tower for the endurance rounds in 2023 and 2024, taking a class win in the Twelve Hours of Sebring in the latter year with Farano and IndyCar star Scott McLaughlin. 

Additionally, he won the European Le Mans Championship in Algarve Pro Racing’s LMP2 machine in 2023, teaming alongside Alex Lynn and James Allen to capture two wins and five podiums in six races.

Simpson, the 2021 Formula Regional Americas champion, last competed in IMSA’s crown jewel event in 2024 with DragonSpeed, finishing seventh in class and 48th overall.
