Team Sahlen will be partnering with Fabspeed Motorsport in 2025. Team Sahlen’s Porsche Boxsters have rolled with Fabspeed Motorsports’ competition race exhaust system since the Stuttgart Speedsters rolled on track in 2019. And now for 2025, the team will now be benefiting from Fabspeed Motorsports’ competition headers.
Will Nonnamaker with Team Sahlen shared his thoughts on the partnership with Fabspeed Motorsport – “We have had a great relationship with Joe Fabriani and Fabspeed Motorsport for many years now. And we are so excited to have strengthen this relationship with our partnership going into 2025. Both Fabspeed Motorsport and Team Sahlen share the common passion for being the very best – whether that producing the very best in aftermarket performance equipment or striving to be the very best team on the race track.”
For 2025, Team Sahlen will continue forward in their 41st season of Endurance Sports Car Racing. The team puts serious miles on their Porsches. In 2024 alone the team raced the equivalent of six 24 Hour events. And with these long events, the team not only needs to have the performance to go fast but to have strong reliability. In the 5 season of racing Fabspeed Motorsport’s competition race exhaust systems, the team has had zero failures due to weld cracking or stress fractures in the tubing and mufflers.
Joe Fabiani of Fabspeed Motorsports shared his enthusiasm for the partnership – “I am excited to have Team Sahlen be brand ambassadors for Fabspeed Motorsports. The team has delivered excellence on the race track for many decades. And I know that for 2025 they will again be a dominant force in Endurance Sports Car Racing. Additionally, they have truly been able to connect with the automotive enthusiast community through social media. This collaboration together will be a great platform for Fabspeed Motorsports to continue to connect with our current clients and reach out to new customers for the future.”
Fabspeed Motorsports USA has over 30+ years of Porsche air-cooled and water-cool design and engineering excellence. Joe Fabiani, founder of Fabspeed Motorsport, and his team have CAD designed, dyno developed street and race tracked tested systems for years.
Joe Fabiani, CEO President of Fabspeed Motorsports, has been an active Porsche club member for 37 continuous years . PCA DE instructor and PCA club racer and passion is in his teams system!
In the coming season, Team Sahlen will again be competing in multiple Endurance Sports Car Series. This will include the Tire Rack – ChampCar Endurance Series. In 2024 the team secured the Midwest Series Championship. And in 2025, the team hopes to do one better and secure the series National Championship, to be held at the legendary Virginia International Raceway.
Team Sahlen will also be competing in the Lucky Dog Racing League presented by Hankook Tires and the NASA Team Racing Endurance Challenge. Within these series, the competition rules set offers the option for Team Sahlen to utilize the Fabspeed Motorsports Competition Headers.
Allen Wells, Manager for Team Sahlen shared his excitement – “Last year, when we 1st competed in the Lucky Dog Racing League, we were fortunate to secure the overall victory at Pittsburgh International Raceway. But for sure we were far from the fastest out there on track. And we knew that for 2025, we would have to improve the performance of our Porsche Boxsters to ensure we can compete at sharp end of the grid. And one of the key ways we plan to accomplish this is installing the Fabspeed Motorsports Competition Headers on both our #942 “Ketchup” & #943 “Mustard” Boxsters.”
Team Sahlen will kick off their 2025 campaign at the Daytona 14 Hour Enduro in
April with the Tire Rack – ChampCar Endurance Series. The #942 “Ketchup”
Porsche Boxster will be piloted by Joe Sahlen and Will Nonnamaker. And the #943 “Mustard” Porsche Boxster will
be piloted by Joe Nonnamaker and Wayne Nonnamaker.
