Nico Müller returns to the JDC-Miller MotorSports Porsche 963 for the remainder of the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech Championship season

SAVAGE, Minn. (September 8, 2025) — JDC-Miller MotorSports is pleased to announce the return of Swiss Formula E driver Nico Müller to its driver lineup for the remaining two races of the season. Müller will join Tijmen van der Helm in piloting the No. 85 Porsche 963 for the Battle on the Bricks at Indianapolis and Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta.

Müller competed for JDC-Miller MotorSports earlier this year at the Twelve Hours of Sebring, where the team had a strong performance until experiencing a brake issue late in the race, bringing the car home in 8th overall.   

Since Sebring, Müller has gained additional Porsche 963 seat-time by competing in the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps and testing as the reserve driver for the Porsche 24 Hours of Le Mans campaign.

John Church, Managing Partner, No. 85 JDC-Miller MotorSports Porsche 963

“I’m really pleased to have Nico back with us to wrap-up the season. He was a great fit with the team when he was with us at Sebring. Got up to speed with the 963 very quickly, which is not an easy thing to do. We think he will give us that little bit of extra pace we are looking for. We finished this race 3rd last year, so our goal is to move up a step or two.”

Tijmen van der Helm, Driver, No. 85 JDC-Miller MotorSports Porsche 963

“It’s great to have Nico back with us for the Indy and Petit.  I very much enjoyed driving with him at Sebring. A great addition to the team.” 

Nico Müller, Driver, No. 85 JDC-Miller MotorSports Porsche 963

“I am very excited to be back with JDC-Miller MotorSports after our race together earlier this season at Sebring. We demonstrated good pace and great potential during the 12-Hour event. I’m looking forward to building on that performance straight away.

Hopefully, I can help the team make further progress in the two races at Indianapolis and Road Atlanta. I’m really excited to compete in these endurance races with this amazing team. I’m familiar with Indianapolis because, in 2021, I took part in an 8-hour GT3 race there. I haven’t raced at Road Atlanta yet, so I’m eager to get my first experience on that fantastic track. Petit Le Mans is on every driver’s bucket list, so I’m truly excited about this opportunity. We’re going to give it our best effort to achieve some good results for JDC-Miller MotorSports.” 

LOVE RACING. STOP CANCER. returns to the Battle on the Bricks.

JDC-Miller MotorSports to take St. Jude along for the ride in the Battle On The Bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway

The JDC-Miller MotorSports will be racing the No. 85 Porsche 963 GTP to stop cancer at this weekend’s Battle On The Bricks at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. September is Child Cancer Awareness Month, which has an official color of yellow. 

The IMSA community provided a tremendous outpouring of support for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® patient Colton at Road America, so the JDC-Miller MotorSports team decided to invite St. Jude patient Grayson and his family to join their effort for the six hours of the Battle On The Bricks.

Not only will Grayson be joining the team, but so will a couple of hundred other JDC-Miller MotorSports and St. Jude supporters who joined the LOVE RACING. STOP CANCER. campaign. The team kicked this effort off with a “team meeting” at the JDC-Miller MotorSports shop, with over 200 joining in. The meeting consisted of a Porsche 963 technical presentation, a display of the team’s freshly restored 2016 Rolex winning Prototype Challenge Oreca, and various other activities.  The highlight was a couple of live pit-stop demonstrations with fan Q&A. Photos are here: St. Jude Benefit – Dropbox.

For the race, we will be placing special LOVE RACING. STOP CANCER. stickers on the Porsche 963 with a message written by the supporter. A $250 donation puts your yellow sticker on the car and a $500 donation receives a larger black and yellow sticker. Supporters are encouraged to write whatever they like for the six-hour trip around IMS.  Supporters have already donated over $25,000 to St. Jude.



Want to put your name on the JDC-Miller MotorSports Porsche 963? There is still time, and we would love to have your help by inviting your friends and family to join in this important race…the race to end childhood cancer! All donations are tax-deductible and donors who make a gift of $250, $500, or more receive a customized LOVE RACING.
