Notes:
- Tom Kopczynski was originally set to compete for RennSport1 in the No. 28,[16] but withdrew due to other commitments.[17] RennSport1 substituted Kopczynski with John Capestro-Dubets, with the driver change causing the entry to move classes from Pro-Am to Silver.

- Rodrigo Baptista was originally scheduled to drive the No. 5 Nissan for Flying Lizard Motorsports in the fifth round at Road America,[20] but was replaced by Andy Lee due to an scheduling conflict.[13]
