GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • LAURA HAYES produced a masterful Race 2 recovery, charging from seventh to third in Am class during a brief green-flag run, posting fastest Mercedes lap times and demonstrating podium-winning pace despite limited track time.
  • Co-driving the #37 Mercedes-AMG GT4 with Ed Killeen, HAYES executed an aggressive restart attack, passing two competitors immediately and running as one of the fastest Am drivers before late-race caution froze positions.
  • Race 1 saw HAYES launch brilliantly from fifth in Am to 18th overall, running consistent 2:20s and climbing to second in class before strategic pit timing delivered a fifth-place finish for Killeen.
  • The Road America podium marks another strong result for HAYES and Dome Motorsport, reinforcing her status as a leading Am-class contender with Barber Motorsports Park next on September 25-27.

UPCOMING:

  • Pirelli GT4 America at Barber Motorsports Park, September 25-27, 2026
