In a move that has sent shockwaves through the motorsport community, Bryan Sellers, one of the most accomplished drivers in IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship history, is parting ways with Paul Miller Racing at the end of the season. After a decade of dominance with Madison Snow that earned the pair two GTD titles and a staggering 37 podiums, Sellers is shifting gears to take on a more expansive role with DXDT Racing.
A Legacy Left Behind: The End of an Era at Paul Miller Racing
Sellers’ departure marks the close of one of the most successful driver-team partnerships in IMSA GTD history. With 13 of Sellers’ 20 career IMSA wins secured alongside Snow, the duo’s accomplishments are nothing short of legendary. Together, they captured championships in 2018 and 2023, including a record-breaking five victories in a single season. Sellers’ departure comes as Paul Miller Racing transitions into GTD PRO, where the team has already captured a victory and holds third place in the championship ahead of the Petit Le Mans season finale.
But the decision wasn’t just about leaving behind the wins and the glory; it was a seismic shift in Sellers’ career trajectory. The move to DXDT Racing signals his desire to step beyond the cockpit and into a managerial role, a rare and bold decision for a driver still at the peak of his racing prowess.
“We’re so proud of Bryan as he moves on to this next phase of his career,” said Paul Miller Racing’s Team Manager Mitchell Simmons. “He’s been an integral part of this team for such a long time, and we wouldn’t have had the success we have had without him.”
The Next Chapter: From Driver to Program Manager
Sellers isn’t just switching teams—he’s evolving into a pivotal role that extends far beyond driving. As the newly appointed Program Manager for DXDT Racing, Sellers will continue to compete in Fanatec GT World Challenge America, where he’s already made waves with two victories this season driving the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R. But now, his influence will stretch into the operational side of the sport, marking a new chapter in his storied career.
“I’m so excited to join DXDT full-time as Program Manager,” Sellers stated. “This role allows me to continue driving at a high level while also allowing me to explore other endeavors on the business side of the sport.”
This strategic shift is an indication of Sellers’ deep knowledge of the inner workings of motorsport—an area he has cultivated over more than two decades. His blend of on-track prowess and off-track leadership is seen as an invaluable asset to DXDT Racing, a team poised to grow exponentially with Sellers in this expanded role.
DXDT Racing’s Future: An Unstoppable Force in the Making
For DXDT Racing, Sellers’ arrival as Program Manager is nothing short of a coup. Team principal David Askew was quick to acknowledge the transformative impact Sellers has had since joining the team in 2022.
“Bryan’s knowledge and opinions have been invaluable as we’ve grown our operation,” Askew remarked. “With the team bigger than ever and taking on new challenges, bringing him in-house in this Program Manager role just made too much sense. Between him and Erin, we’re in great hands.”
Sellers’ influence will likely play a critical role as DXDT continues to establish itself as a competitive force in GT World Challenge America and beyond. His expertise isn’t just limited to being one of the fastest drivers on the grid—Sellers brings a nuanced understanding of racing operations, strategy, and team-building, setting the stage for DXDT to achieve new heights.
A Promising Future Awaits
As Sellers prepares for his final race with Paul Miller Racing at the iconic Petit Le Mans, all eyes will be on how this legendary driver-turned-manager will shape the future of DXDT Racing. His departure from Paul Miller Racing is bittersweet but opens the door for an exciting new chapter. The motorsport world will be watching closely as Bryan Sellers transitions from IMSA legend to an indispensable leader at DXDT Racing.
This is more than just a career move—it’s the beginning of a new era for Sellers and a monumental step forward for DXDT Racing.
