Kellymoss has announced plans to relocate its motorsport operations from Madison, Wisconsin, to a new 145,000-square-foot facility in Troutman, North Carolina. The move will bring the Porsche racing specialist together with sister organisation Riley Technologies under a single headquarters, marking a significant expansion for both teams.
Their shared parent company, VICCI, plans to invest up to $25 million in the development, including real estate, machinery and equipment. The relocation, which the companies expect to complete during the third quarter of 2027, will bring together Kellymoss’ Wisconsin operations and Riley’s existing base in Mooresville, North Carolina.
Although the two organisations will share facilities and resources, they intend to maintain their individual racing programmes and established identities.
VICCI announces major investment in North Carolina motorsport operations
VICCI aims to strengthen its racing and engineering capabilities through the consolidation, creating opportunities for both businesses to expand their operations while sharing technical expertise.
Kellymoss executives Victoria Thomas and Andy Kilcoyne own VICCI alongside minority shareholder Bill Riley. The parent company acquired Kellymoss and Riley Technologies in early 2025, establishing a partnership between two organisations with extensive experience in North American motorsport.
The upcoming move represents the next stage of that partnership, with the new Troutman facility providing additional space for racing operations, technical development and future projects.
Furthermore, the investment will have a direct impact on employment. VICCI expects approximately 50 existing positions to transfer from Wisconsin to North Carolina, while the expansion will create at least ten additional jobs in the Troutman area.
VICCI president Victoria Thomas highlighted the importance of bringing the organisations together while continuing to recognise their individual strengths.
“Bringing these amazing teams together under one roof represents an exciting investment in our people, our distinct cultures, our capabilities, and our future,”
“We are proud of the foundations that brought us here and even more excited about what we can build together.”
The development will also strengthen Troutman’s position within North Carolina’s established motorsport industry, which already supports numerous professional racing teams, specialist engineering businesses and automotive manufacturers.
Kellymoss and Riley Technologies to maintain separate racing programmes
Despite the consolidation, VICCI plans to preserve the distinct responsibilities of Kellymoss and Riley Technologies.
Kellymoss will continue managing the group’s Porsche-related racing activities, including its participation in GT World Challenge (GTWC) America powered by AWS and Porsche Carrera Cup North America. Meanwhile, Riley Technologies will oversee non-Porsche motorsport programmes alongside its established engineering and manufacturing operations.
The arrangement will allow both organisations to retain their specialist focus while gaining access to shared technical resources, infrastructure and expertise.
In particular, Kellymoss will benefit from Riley’s extensive experience in sports car racing, engineering and vehicle development. Riley Technologies has competed across several major American championships, including the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and GTWC America.
Moreover, the two organisations have already developed a working relationship through their existing competition programmes. Kellymoss expanded its GTWC America efforts for 2026, introducing three Porsche 911 GT3 R entries with direct support from Riley’s engineering expertise.
Bill Riley believes the shared facility will strengthen that collaboration while creating opportunities for larger projects.
“With both organizations under one roof, we will be able to strengthen the internal resources available to all our racing programs and projects.
“The facility also provides the capacity to continue growing and accommodate larger programs well into the future.”
Consequently, the consolidation will provide a common operational foundation without requiring either team to abandon its existing racing commitments.
Kellymoss prepares to leave Wisconsin after nearly four decades
The relocation marks a significant transition for Kellymoss, which has maintained its headquarters in Wisconsin since May 1988.
Brothers David and Jeff Stone established the organisation after relocating from Florida to Wisconsin following advice from Porsche enthusiast Rich Moskalik. Their decision laid the foundations for a racing operation that would develop an enduring association with Porsche competition.
Over the following decades, Kellymoss expanded its presence across professional and customer racing championships, establishing programmes in Porsche Carrera Cup North America, Porsche Sprint Challenge and GTWC America.
The team’s development has also extended beyond racing, encompassing Porsche vehicle preparation, restoration, engineering and driver development.
However, the decision to relocate represents a major change for its employees and their families. Kellymoss chief technical officer Andy Kilcoyne acknowledged the challenges surrounding the transition while explaining the strategic importance of the move.
“The decision to relocate Kellymoss to North Carolina was both difficult and strategic,”
“Our people are the DNA of Kellymoss, and we recognize the significance of this transition for our employees and their families.
“We’ve been extremely encouraged by the enthusiasm and positive response from so many members of our team.
“Wisconsin has been our home for many years, and we’re proud of everything we’ve accomplished here. As we prepare for this next chapter, our priority is to carry that same passion, dedication, and commitment to excellence forward.”
The relocation will therefore close a long chapter in the team’s history while allowing Kellymoss to pursue further growth alongside Riley Technologies.
Kellymoss continues Porsche racing commitments amid expansion plans
While VICCI prepares for the relocation, Kellymoss continues to maintain a substantial presence across North American Porsche racing.
During 2026, the team expanded its GTWC America programme with three Porsche 911 GT3 R entries in the Pro-Am category. Its driver combinations included Michael Clark and Colin Braun, Todd Parriott and Riley Dickinson, and John Gilliland and Loek Hartog.
The organisation also strengthened its endurance racing programme through additional driver appointments for the season-ending Indianapolis 8 Hour. Kellymoss recruited Kay van Berlo, Lars Kern and Aaron Jeansonne to complete its three-car line-up for the Intercontinental GT Challenge event.
Meanwhile, Riley Technologies continued its own GTWC America campaign with the BMW M4 GT3 EVO, reinforcing the distinction between the organisations’ manufacturer relationships.
Kellymoss also entered five cars across the three championship classes for the 2026 Porsche Carrera Cup North America season finale at Circuit of The Americas, which took place from 23–25 October.
Beyond its competition programmes, Kellymoss continues to focus on developing racing talent and expanding opportunities within motorsport. Recently, Victoria Thomas received the SRO Motorsports Group’s Jim Cook Award in recognition of her contributions to the sport.
Troutman relocation creates opportunities for future growth
The new North Carolina headquarters will represent one of the most significant developments in Kellymoss’ history, bringing almost four decades of Porsche racing experience into a shared environment with Riley Technologies.
By investing in additional infrastructure and combining engineering capabilities, VICCI aims to support both teams’ existing commitments while preparing for future expansion.
Nevertheless, the transition will require considerable planning as Kellymoss moves its operations and personnel from Wisconsin while Riley relocates from its current Mooresville base.
With the relocation scheduled for the third quarter of 2027, both organisations have time to prepare for the move while continuing their respective motorsport programmes.
Ultimately, the development will bring together two established American racing operations under one roof, creating a larger technical and operational base while preserving the identities that have defined their success.
