GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • HANNAH GREENEMEIER delivered a spectacular 1:29.351 qualifying lap for the all-female Heart of Racing duo’s fourth overall GS pole of 2026, maintaining two-tenths advantage over the field at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
  • GREENEMEIER controlled the opening stint through multiple restarts, leading throughout before handing to GRISHAM, who immediately posted the race’s fastest lap despite pit strategy complications dropping them from contention.
  • The pairing previously became the first women to secure consecutive overall GS poles (Watkins Glen, Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Road America), establishing themselves as consistent front-runners in their maiden Pilot Challenge campaign.
  • A late caution with five minutes remaining neutralized GRISHAM’s charge toward the podium, with a chaotic wet restart costing positions as the #26 Aston Martin finished sixth despite demonstrating genuine podium pace throughout.

UPCOMING:

  • IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Season Finale – Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta – October 1-3, 2026
