DALLAS, Jan. 23, 2025 -- Nick Boulle of de Boulle Diamond & Jewelry, an independent jewelry salon in Dallas and Houston, is confirmed to race with United Autosports LMP2 #2 car for the prestigious 2025 Rolex 24 on January 23rd through the 26th at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. With teams racing around the clock for 24 hours, the Rolex 24 is recognized as one of the world's premier endurance races as it is a true test of fortitude and strength.
In the #2 ORECA 07, reigning IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar LMP2 Champion Boulle will join forces alongside a world-class roster of drivers with GT World Challenge Australia Pro/Am multi-race-winner and Asian Le Mans LMP2 podium placer Garnet Patterson, five-time IMSA race winner and 2020 Daytona race winner Ben Hanley and 2022 IMSA DPi Champion, Daytona race winner and two-time Le Mans race winner Oliver Jarvis. This all-star team is poised to take on intense competition in the LMP2 class and push for victory.
Fresh off a championship-winning season, Nick is eager to bring his expertise to one of the most prestigious endurance races in the world. "United Autosports' history of success and commitment to excellence speaks for itself and aligns perfectly with my passion for motorsport and my approach to business," said Boulle. "The United Autosports car is one of the best looking on the grid, and I can't wait to hit the track with this incredible team and drivers. Together, we're ready to compete at the highest level and make something special happen."
Boulle is the team's Bronze-graded driver and brings years of experience on the world's greatest endurance racecourses including Le Mans, Spa-Francorchamps and Daytona. This will be the eighth time Boulle has competed in this race. His greatest notoriety may be when he became the first certified Rolex retailer to win the Rolex 24 At Daytona in the LMPC class with Performance Tech Motorsports in 2017 with PR1/Mathiasen Motorsport. In 2024, Boulle celebrated podium finishes at two Michelin Endurance Cup events – Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen and the TireRack.com Battle on The Bricks – and took victory at the Chevrolet Grand Prix sprint race, laying solid foundations for another successful LMP2 season.
Boulle's addition to the team reflects his growing prominence in international motorsports. His ability to consistently deliver high-pressure performances has solidified his reputation as one of the top drivers in the LMP2 class. This opportunity with United Autosports USA not only positions him for success at Daytona but also as a leading contender in the 2025 season.
Kicking off the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, this year's race marks the 63rd Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona. As the crown jewel of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the historic race features competition in five classes: the headlining Daytona Prototype International (DPi), Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), Le Mans Prototype 3 (LMP3), and the GTD PRO class.
The Rolex 24 at Daytona will take the green flag on Saturday, January 25th at 12:40pm CT (starting on NBC from 12:30-2:30pm CT; USA Network from 1:30-5:30pm; streaming flag to flag on Peacock, IMSA.TV, YouTube).
