DHR Took 2nd in the GT Class:
2026 has been incredible for the DHR Team! The #47 Factory Five Daytona 65R made its formal debut and charged to second place in GT at both Virginia International Raceway and Indy! We moved into third overall in the Trans Am GT driver championship with one round remaining!
Huge thanks to Crew Chief Ethan “Hot Dog” Phillips, the entire Dark Horse crew, and Factory Five Racing’s Nicolas Raffa and David Viveiros for helping deliver this podium result
With one round remaining, we’re working to secure the sponsorship needed to compete at COTA. We’re committed to being at SEMA and will share updates as plans come together.
DHR CORE VALUES
Legacy
Commitment
Speed
Service
​Established in 1985 as a WERA motorcycle racing team, Dark Horse Racing has carried a passion for competition forward for four decades.
From motorcycle racing to competing in HSR, SVRA, SCCA, Grand-Am, the American V8 Super Car Series, and now the Trans Am Series, DHR has continued to evolve while honoring its roots in American motorsports.
Dark Horse Racing’s legacy is built on perseverance, innovation, teamwork, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Dark Horse Racing is powered by a dedicated team with a unique background — bringing together United States Army combat veterans, United States Marines, former Naval Aviators, Air Force veterans, engineers, craftsmen, family, and friends united by a common mission.
The same commitment required in service carries forward into every hour spent in the shop, every challenge overcome, and every lap completed on track.
Since the early 2000s, Dark Horse Racing has used motorsports as a platform to serve beyond the racetrack — raising awareness for opportunities available to disabled veterans and supporting organizations dedicated to those who have served.
For DHR, success is measured not only by trophies and podium finishes, but by the lives impacted along the way.
Speed is earned through preparation, teamwork, innovation, and determination.
From engineering and building our race cars to competing at the highest levels of sports car racing, Dark Horse Racing continues to push the limits of performance while honoring the legacy, commitment, and service behind the team.
Gallant Few
"Brion and Dark Horse Racing are instrumental in helpings to raise awareness for the Gallant Few..."
Karl Monger, Founder and Clinical Director of the Gallant Few
Dark Horse Racing has partnered with Driven Racing Oil to enhance performance and reliability as they compete in the Trans Am series, supporting driver-owner B.P. Gluck’s mission to aid disabled veterans. The team, made up largely of veterans, has previously achieved podium finishes in the SGT class.. It's easy.
1st Place Finish
In 2023, Dark Horse Racing triumphed at Road Atlanta securing a 4th place finish in the SGT class and 1st place in the pro-am category, despite a transmission failure. From here, DHR transitioned away from the Factory 5 GTM and into the new Type 65 Coupe R for future seasons.
Now that's Fast!
