June 30, 2026
GRRL! SUMMARY:
- SHEENA MONK delivered her strongest IMSA stint yet, recovering from a formation lap spin to charge through the GTD field with decisive overtakes, climbing from last to second in Bronze before handing off the #16 Ford Mustang.
- The Myers Riley squad showed genuine pace all weekend, with MONK running among fastest Bronze drivers in practice before Felipe Fraga posted multiple 1:47s—yet technical gremlins forced extended garage time that cost eight laps.
- Despite finishing 14th overall in GTD, MONK secured fifth in Bronze classification, banking 260 Bob Akin Award points to maintain third in the championship standings with 1,430 points as the Le Mans invitation chase intensifies.
- The Sahlen’s Six Hours featured nine cautions including a massive Esses pileup that eliminated three GTD cars, while MONK’s mature drive through chaos showcased significant progress after consecutive top-tens at Laguna Seca and Long Beach.
UPCOMING:
- Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park – July 11-12, 2026
