The Bryan Herta Autosport IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge team is suing a former client for allegedly failing to honor the terms of its contract, which includes non-payment for a significant sum of money.

Under the Bryan Herta Rallysport LLC, banner, the team owned by Herta and Sean Jones filed a lawsuit against Deily Motorsports LLC and its owner Robert Deily as an individual, in Deily’s home state of Oklahoma, seeking remuneration for the terms in the loan of a Hyundai Elantra N TCR fielded by Deily in 2023.

Deily Motorsports purchased one Hyundai and made use of a second lent from BHA for its two-car TCR effort, and according to the filing from September 2024, the BHA and Deily entered into an agreement on Jan. 6, 2023, with a “Vehicle Loan Agreement for lease of a race vehicle,” and in that agreement, Deily was “obligated to return the race vehicle in the same race-ready condition it was received.”
