GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MADDIE AUST continues her impressive rookie IMSA campaign with another top-10 finish, as she and co-driver Suellio Almeida brought their Bryan Herta Autosport Hyundai home in P7 at Mosport. Starting from P12, Aust ran a clean opening stint and climbed into the top 10 before handing over to Almeida, who managed the chaos of late-race incidents to secure their fifth top-10 result of the season. The consistency is paying off—they’ve moved up to eighth in championship standings and are proving that steady, smart racing beats flashy moves every time.
  • MEGAN TOMLINSON delivered another solid performance for the home crowd at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, securing P9 alongside father Ron in their Precision Racing LA entry. Qualifying P10, Tomlinson made an excellent start to climb into the top eight before settling into the midfield battle that defines competitive TCR racing. Despite losing spots during the chaos, the Tomlinsons gained a position on the final lap to claim their third top-10 finish of the season, maintaining their streak of points-paying results and cementing their reputation as reliable contenders in a highly competitive field.
  • RILEY PEGRAM’s weekend showcased both her growing speed and the cruel reality of racing luck. Running her strongest pace of the season and climbing as high as P9 during her opening stint, Pegram was on track for a well-deserved top-10 finish before getting collected by a GS-class car shortly after the final restart. A subsequent pit lane speeding penalty compounded the frustration, dropping the Pegrams to P11 after showing genuine race-winning pace. It’s the kind of result that stings because the performance was there—sometimes racing just isn’t fair, but the speed gains are undeniable.
