Frank Montecalvo (born December 28, 1990) is an American racing driver who currently competes in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
Early life A native of Highlands, New Jersey, Montecalvo attended high school at St. John Vianney High School.
Career In 2012, Montecalvo took part in his first 24 Hours of Le Mans, driving for Luxury Racing in the GTE Am class. The team started fourth in class but failed to finish the race, retiring with crash damage after 146 laps. Montecalvo returned to Le Mans in 2014, replacing Enzo Potolicchio in the 8 Star Motorsports GTE Am entry. In 2015, Montecalvo won the GTA class of the Pirelli World Challenge.
Prior to the 2019 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, Montecalvo joined AIM Vasser Sullivan in the GTD class, driving alongside Townsend Bell. Montecalvo scored his first IMSA victory in August 2020 at Road America. In 2023, Montecalvo returned for his fifth consecutive season with the team, and his second with Aaron Telitz as his co-driver. That season, Montecalvo claimed his second career IMSA victory, supporting a Lexus GT-class sweep at the 2023 Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen.
Personal life As of August 2023, Montecalvo is not a professional racing driver, working a day job at his family's recycling business.
