• MADDIE AUST and co-driver Suellio Almeida delivered another consistent performance in their rookie IMSA campaign, bringing the #9 Bryan Herta Autosport Hyundai home in sixth place. Despite an unscheduled pit stop to remove debris from their car mid-race, Aust managed the final stint expertly to secure valuable championship points and maintain their position as serious contenders in the competitive TCR field.
• MEGAN TOMLINSON continued her impressive debut season with a clean, mistake-free drive to seventh place alongside father Ron in the #37 Precision Racing LA Audi. The result marks her third consecutive top-ten finish, showcasing the steady improvement and consistency that’s become her calling card. Her performance keeps her solidly positioned in eighth place in the championship standings with 910 points.
• RILEY PEGRAM showed blistering pace throughout the weekend, qualifying sixth and running in the top-six for much of the race before technical issues and penalties dropped the #72 Pegram Racing Hyundai to 11th. Despite the disappointing result, both Riley and father Larry demonstrated they have the speed to compete at the front when everything goes their way, proving the father-daughter duo remains a threat for future rounds.
• The female contingent faced mixed fortunes as CHRISTINA LAM returned to IMSA action after missing rounds, though multiple penalties hampered the #10 Rockwell Autosport effort. Meanwhile, CHRISTINE SLOSS’s Bronze Cup podium streak came to an end when damage from an off-track excursion forced retirement of the #15 Van Der Steur Racing Aston Martin, ending what had been a promising run in the GS class.
