GRRL! SUMMARY:
- ASHLEY FREIBERG delivered exceptional comeback performances in both races, charging from mid-pack to seventh in Race 1 with consistent 2:19 laps and climbing into the overall top-ten during wet Race 2 conditions.
- LONI UNSER inherited third in Silver after excellent Kellymoss pit work in Race 2, but an 8.61-second short-stop penalty dropped the team to eighth, costing them their first podium of 2026.
- The Kellymoss duo sits sixth in Silver standings with points in all seven races, their consistency built on FREIBERG’s aggressive recoveries and strategic timing undermined by multiple full-course yellows at Wisconsin.
- Road America marked a frustrating pattern: the #24 Porsche showed podium pace in both races, but caution-period pit strategy and penalty timing prevented FREIBERG and UNSER from converting speed into silverware heading to Barber.
UPCOMING:
- Pirelli GT4 America Championship at Barber Motorsports Park, September 25-27, 2026
