Mark Wilkins (racing driver)

He previously raced for Acura in Pirelli World Challenge and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

[1] 2008 was a breakthrough season for both Wilkins, co-driver Brian Frisselle and the rest of the AIM Autosport team in the championship.

Coming out of turn eight, Hand's car ran out of fuel denying him and Bill Auberlen victory.

The pairing had a solid season, finishing nine of the twelve races in the top ten and claiming ninth in the championship.

Despite running a limited schedule with a new car, Wilkins would pick up his first win at Mosport and finish 7th in standings.

Although Wilkins would not win any drivers' titles, he did pick up multiple victories as well as the GTS manufacturers' championship for Kia in 2014.
