GRRL! SUMMARY:
- ALEXANDRA HAINER delivered another masterclass weekend at Road America, securing two runner-up finishes to maintain her ProAm championship lead heading into the finale. The Swedish-American driver’s consistency is paying dividends – she’s now collected seven consecutive podiums alongside teammate Jesse Lazare, proving that sometimes the tortoise beats the hare in championship racing.
- Race 2 showcased exactly why HAINER belongs at the top of this field. She turned a handover from third in class into a nail-biting charge for victory, closing a three-second gap to the leader and mounting relentless pressure right until the checkered flag. Missing the win by just three tenths after that kind of comeback drive? That’s championship-caliber racecraft from someone in her rookie McLaren Trophy season.
- The weekend wasn’t without drama – weather shortened Saturday’s program and technical gremlins frustrated HAINER in qualifying. But watch how she responds: immediate pace in practice, smart racecraft when it counts, and the mental strength to keep pushing when a championship is on the line. With just 3.5 points separating her from the title heading to Indianapolis, we’re witnessing a rookie campaign that’s anything but beginner’s luck.
UPCOMING:
- McLaren Trophy North America Championship Finale – Indianapolis Motor Speedway (October 15-17)
