Wilkins joined the Kia Racing Team starting with Round 5 of the Pirelli World Challenge Championships at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. He claimed his best GTS finish to date at that race, finishing 8th. Wilkins and teammate Michael Galati, who pilots the No. 36 Kia Optima, will be racing at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (formerly Mosport International Raceway) in the Sports Car Doubleheader Weekend, June 22-24th.

Now in its 23rd consecutive season, the Pirelli World Challenge is one of North America's top production car-based racing championships. Divided into four separate categories (Pirelli World Challenge GT, Pirelli World Challenge GTS, Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car and Pirelli World Challenge Touring Car B-Spec), each race features thrilling standing starts, adrenaline filled door-to-door action and world-class drivers. The Pirelli World Challenge features cars from the world's most popular manufacturers – race-prepped versions of the cars driven on the streets. Sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing, the series races at North America's premier road and temporary street courses.
