ASHLEY FREIBERG, SARAH MONTGOMERY & CHARLOTTE TRAYNOR Claim Podium at Watkins Glen

October 24, 2025

• ASHLEY FREIBERG, SARAH MONTGOMERY and newcomer CHARLOTTE TRAYNOR delivered another podium finish for AE Victory Racing at Watkins Glen, with the all-female team claiming third place in Saturday’s eight-hour WRL endurance race. TRAYNOR set the team’s fastest lap of the day at 2:01.8 during her longest stint to date, while FREIBERG opened with a strong three-hour performance and MONTGOMERY managed treacherous conditions including heavy rain and debris.
• The team entered Watkins Glen riding high from their historic first-ever victory at Utah Motorsports Campus, where they became the first all-female crew to win in the GTO class. Founded in 2023 by GT World Challenge America winner ERIN VOGEL, AE Victory Racing continues proving that their Utah breakthrough wasn’t a fluke – they’ve now moved up to third in the WRL national championship standings.
• Sunday’s seven-hour race showed the team’s potential before a sensor issue forced an early retirement while running second. FREIBERG charged through the field to hand over in fourth place, TRAYNOR maintained front-runner pace, and MONTGOMERY was positioned for another podium before the mechanical setback. The crew’s flawless pit work and strategic timing had them perfectly positioned until the sensor problem struck.
