Alex Job Racing

Alex Job Racing was established in 1988 by Alex and Holly Job at their home in Florida. Alex Job had been racing sports cars since 1969, beginning with a Porsche 356, and competed in the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1976. After finishing second at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1991, he moved the team into a commercial shop and retired from driving the following year.

For the inaugural season of the American Le Mans Series in 1999, Alex Job Racing entered a Porsche 993 Carrera RSR. The team won the season-opening 12 Hours of Sebring and also took victory at Mosport, finishing second in the GT Teams' Championship.

For 2000 the team ran the new 996 GT3-R, claiming victories at Mosport and Texas Motor Speedway while finishing second in the GT Teams' Championship to Dick Barbour Racing. Drivers Randy Pobst and Bruno Lambert finished fifth and sixth in the Drivers' Championship.

In 2001 the team won the first three races of the season before finishing second to the BMW Motorsport team. Drivers Lucas Luhr and Sascha Maassen finished third and fourth in the Drivers' Championship.

The 2002 season saw the team expand to two cars. With Timo Bernhard and Jorg Bergmeister in the #22 car and Maassen and Luhr in the #23, the team won eight of ten races and took the GT class Teams' Championship; Maassen and Luhr won the Drivers' Championship.

In 2003 the team won every race bar Road America and claimed pole position and the fastest race lap at every event. Maassen and Luhr finished first in the Drivers' Championship; Bernhard and Bergmeister were second. The team also helped develop Porsche's sequential gearbox, which was subsequently adopted across all Porsche race cars worldwide the following year.

For 2004 the team fielded Bernhard and Bergmeister in the #23 car alongside the new pairing of Marc Lieb and Romain Dumas in the #24. Despite competition from Flying Lizard Motorsports and Risi Competizione, the team won seven of nine races and retained the GT class Teams' Championship.

In 2005 the team ran a single factory-supported car with Bernhard and Dumas alongside a second car for Ian Baas and Darren Law. After scoring no points at the 12 Hours of Sebring, the team won four consecutive races at Mid-Ohio, Lime Rock, Infineon, and Portland, finishing second in the GT2 Teams' Championship behind the Petersen/White Lightning group.

For 2006 the team ran a single car for Mike Rockenfeller and Marcel Tiemann. Their sole victory at the Reliant Park street circuit was the team's 50th professional win. They finished fifth in the GT2 Teams' Championship.

The team returned to the American Le Mans Series in 2010 with a customer programme in the newly formed GT Challenge class. Bill Sweedler and Romeo Kapudija ran a full season; Juan González and Butch Leitzinger drove a second car for the first four rounds. González and Leitzinger, with assistance from Leh Keen, won the season-opening 12 Hours of Sebring and a second race at Long Beach. The team finished second in the GTC Teams' Championship.

In 2011 the team ran a single car for Sweedler and Keen, with Brian Wong and Leitzinger substituting at certain rounds. Facing competition from Tim Pappas and Black Swan Racing, the team recorded three second-place finishes and finished second in the GTC Teams' Championship.

For 2012 the team competed in both the GTC class — with a Cooper MacNeil and Leh Keen-driven Porsche 997 GT3 Cup — and the GT class with a Townsend Bell and Bill Sweedler-driven Lotus Evora GTE from the second round at Long Beach. The GTC programme claimed three class victories and the GTC Teams' and Drivers' Championships. The Lotus programme struggled without factory support; Bell and Sweedler finished 17th in the GT Drivers' Championship.

The 2013 season was the final year of the American Le Mans Series before its merger with the Rolex Sports Car Series. The team continued its GTC programme — MacNeil and Jeroen Bleekemolen in the Porsche — and partnered with West Racing to campaign a Ferrari 458 GT2 for Bell and Sweedler, replacing the Lotus effort. Despite only two class wins, consistent GTC results earned a second GTC Drivers' Championship; the Teams' Championship went to Flying Lizard Motorsports.

In 2006 the team made its Grand Am debut with a Porsche-powered Daytona Prototype. Rockenfeller and Patrick Long recorded two overall wins at Homestead and Virginia International Raceway; Rockenfeller finished fifth in the Drivers' Championship.

In 2007, Long and Jorg Bergmeister claimed an overall win at Laguna Seca along with three top-five and eleven top-ten results. Long finished seventh in the Daytona Prototype Drivers' Championship.

In 2008, full-season drivers Bill Auberlen and Joey Hand claimed two podiums and three top-five results.

With the 2014 merger of the American Le Mans Series and the Rolex Sports Car Series, Alex Job Racing fielded two Porsche 911 GT America cars in the GT Daytona class. Cooper MacNeil and Leh Keen drove the WeatherTech entry; Mario Farnbacher and Ian James piloted the "Heart of Racing" entry in partnership with Team Seattle. MacNeil and Keen achieved a best result of second at Road America and finished second in the GTD Drivers' Championship. Farnbacher and James took second at Belle Isle; Farnbacher finished the season tenth in the Drivers' Championship.
