DAYTONA BEACH, Florida (November 10, 2026) – Two decades after etching its name into the history books at Daytona International Speedway, TPC Racing returns to the World Center of Racing for the second time this season for a final tribute to the team’s signature GT class win in the 2006 Rolex 24 At Daytona, November 11 – 15. Team owner and driver Michael Levitas, who co-drove the No. 36 TPC Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup to victory in 2006, will strap back into that very same car for the HSR Daytona Historics this weekend as part of TPC’s stout four-car lineup across this weekend’s three featured races.
Levitas shared driving duties in the Type 996 No. 36 TPC Racing Porsche 911 for the 2006 victory that carried him Spencer Pumpelly, Randy Pobst and Ian Baas to GT class honors and a ninth-place overall finish. The Porsche, preserved in its original livery and mechanical configuration and virtually untouched the last 20 years., has been campaigned by Levitas in select HSR events in recent seasons, including this past January’s IMSA Classic that set the stage for this year’s running of the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Michael Levitas, and his son and TPC Racing Director of Race Operations Harris Levitas, bring the Porsche’s history back to where it began while also playing a major role in this week’s huge blast of star power at Daytona. After a successful first year of competition in the USAC Mustang Cup series, TPC Racing and two of its Mustang Dark Horse R race cars have been enlisted to run in Wednesday’s inaugural Ford Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic race.
Team drivers in the TPC Racing supported Mustangs include 2015 Daytona 500 winner and three-time NASCAR Cup Champion Joey Logano and 2024 NASCAR Truck Series Champion Ty Majeski. The drivers and TPC represent Team Coast Guard in the inaugural all-Mustang tribute race on Veteran’s Day. TPC Racing is one of six two-car teams honoring a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces in the 30-minute nighttime race under the lights. The event benefits military and veteran support organizations through the Proud to Honor Fund.
Both Mike and Harris Levitas raced in Mustang Cup this year along with several teammates, leading or battling for wins in the majority of races and earning several podium finishes over the course of the season.
This weekend’s track time leader for TPC Racing will undoubtedly be longtime team driver Scott Schmidt who returns to Daytona to compete in the headline HSR Classic Daytona 24 Hour presented by Mission Foods on Saturday and Sunday. Schmidt will pilot the No. 38 TPC Racing Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo, marking his first start in the nation’s premier 24 hour historic endurance race. Competing in the ultra-competitive Run Group E, which is battleground for modern GT cars at least five years old, Schmidt and his class competitors will take to the track four times over the course Saturday and Sunday – including a pair of late-night and early-morning segments – to crown the overall Run Group winner.
Harris Levitas, TPC Racing Director of Race Operations: “When we first ran the HSR Classic 24 weekend a few years ago we immediately thought ‘Wow, this a cool event.’ It is even better now, returning this time to celebrate our team’s greatest victory back in 2006 and competing in the same exact Porsche with my Dad at the wheel. Scott competing in the weekend’s 12th edition of the Classic 24 is also a great addition to what is going to be an awesome weekend at Daytona. We are also deeply honored and privileged to support Ford in saluting our nation’s veterans and U.S. Armed Forces with cars in the Ford Proud to Honor race, and we look forward to working with both Joey and Ty. It’s cool to be competing in all three of this weekend’s main race events and the goal is to grab some victory lane hardware in all three!”
Michael Levitas, Driver – No. 36 TPC Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup: “We have had a lot of races everywhere and here in Daytona with many cars, but our Rolex 24 winning No. 36 Porsche is an amazing piece. We have had it for 20 years, and here we are back at Daytona again! Returning to Daytona is something that is hard to put into words. In 2006, we had a perfect run. The team gave us a flawless car, my co-drivers were impeccable, and we brought home a victory that defined TPC Racing. To be able to drive the exact same No. 36 Porsche where it all happened is a privilege I don’t take for granted. Thanks to Harris and the TPC Racing team for putting it all together, HSR for putting on a great event, IMSA and even Grand-Am of course from 20 years ago! It’s been an amazing fun time and will be again this weekend. It is also an honor to begin the weekend as part of Ford’s thoughtful show of respect for our nation’s veterans and all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.”
