Jon Bennett

CORE autosport owner/driver Bennett has announced his retirement from racing, effectively bringing the team's Nissan DPi program to a close at the end of this year, sportscar365.com reports.

With a stacked driver lineup and restructured crew, CORE autosport's Bennett believes they'll be able to fight for overall victory in the Rolex 24 at Daytona, sportscar365.com reports.

For its Prototype class debut, CORE autosport has recruited Romain Dumas and Loïc Duval to its driver lineup for the Rolex 24 at Daytona. The two Frenchmen will join Bennett and Colin Braun for the 2018 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season opener, IMSA.com reports.
