WeatherTech Racing driver Gunnar Jeannette (Salt Lake City, Ut.) will step into the No. 89 WeatherTech Racing Porsche as a last minute replacement for Cooper MacNeil (Hinsdale, Ill.) who developed an illness overnight.

Gunnar Jeannette : “The WeatherTech Racing team had me come to the test so I would be eligible to drive in the race as a reserve driver,” Jeannette said. “No one likes the circumstances, I hate it for Cooper, Le Mans is the highlight of every driver’s year. I have been with the team all week and I am ready step in and drive.”

This will be Jeannette’s eighth Le Mans start. He has a previous best finish of fifth, overall, in 2003.
