DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — It’s 2020 and Atlanta native Ryan Eversley has moved from Honda America Race Team to L.A. Honda World but throughout it all, the shining personality in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge garage, embraced everything.
Eversley wasn’t linked in a move from HART at the end of 2019 but it came partially due to a contract he has with Honda Performance Development. But he didn’t rule out a potential return to HART who is running a partial schedule in 2020.
