NASCAR driver Parker Kligerman will make his Rolex 24 debut with Forte Racing in the No. 78 Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo2, partnering with Misha Goikhberg for the 63rd running of the endurance classic at Daytona.

The entry comes through a partnership between Forte Racing and Big Machine Racing, owned by music mogul Scott Borchetta. Two additional drivers for the No. 78 entry will be announced at a later date.

Kligerman brings significant NASCAR experience to the team, having competed across all three major series with three wins, 37 top-five finishes, and 98 top-10s. He has also worked as an NBC NASCAR broadcast analyst and pit reporter.

"I've dreamed of competing in this race my whole life," said Kligerman. "When we realized my full-time driving career was coming to an end, we started wondering what cool motorsports adventures we could tackle together. At the top of that list was the Rolex 24!"

Goikhberg returns to Forte Racing after two successful seasons that included a victory at Motul Petit Le Mans with Patrick Liddy and two top-five points finishes alongside regular co-driver Loris Spinelli. His full-season partner for 2025 has not yet been announced. Neither Spinelli nor Liddy appeared on IMSA's recently released Rolex 24 entry list.

The team enters its third season in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD class, looking to build on its recent success with this new driver lineup.
