Random Vandals Racing will expand into a three-car IMSA operation this year following a new partnership with Team ACP-Tangerine.

Kenton Koch and team owner Paul Sparta will return to the wheel of the No. 92 BMW M4 GT4 for the full Michelin Pilot Challenge season and will be joined by the No. 94 BMW of Ken Goldberg, Catesby Jones and Terry Borcheller that will run under the Team ACP by Random Vandals banner.

Additionally, Nathan Martin will make his VP Racing SportsCar Challenge debut in a GSX class BMW fielded under the Team ACP by Random Vandals banner, beginning with next weekend’s season-opener at Daytona.

“2024 marks a major expansion for Random Vandals and a huge raccoon family welcome to Team ACP,” said Sparta. “In 2023, we invested across the organization to create a cohesive team with top driving, engineering, and technical talent. We proved we can run consistently at the top of the field in multiple series.

“This year, we intend to compete for a championship and multiple race wins. We couldn’t do it without the tremendous partnership of BMW Motorsport. The farther we go, the harder it gets, but this team loves the challenge and the process.”

Koch added: “Last year’s foray in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge left us with some great experience to build on. We grew so much as a team and Paul was able to take another leap as a driver.

“I’m super excited to partner with him again and make a run at the full season championship with Random Vandals after some success last year. I have a good feeling about 2024 and can’t wait for Daytona to get here.”

“Team ACP is extremely happy to partner with Random Vandals for our IMSA effort,” said Catesby Jones, CEO of Team ACPTangerine.

“We are both dedicated BMW teams, and we’ll be stronger together as we take this step into IMSA. We can’t wait to get to Daytona.”
