ASHLEY FREIBERG, SARAH MONTGOMERY Lead AE Victory Racing Double-Podium Debut

March 6, 2026

• AE Victory Racing doubled down for 2026 and immediately delivered the goods, securing a remarkable double-podium finish in their expanded two-car debut at Barber Motorsports Park. The women-led organization proved that growth doesn’t have to mean growing pains, with ASHLEY FREIBERG anchoring the #119 Toyota Supra GT4 alongside SARAH MONTGOMERY and development driver BRENNA SCHUBERT, while HANNAH GRISHAM, SALLY MOTT, and MICHELE ABBATE piloted the sister #120 car through a competitive 42-car World Racing League field.
• SCHUBERT made her endurance racing debut look effortless under FREIBERG’s mentorship, absorbing knowledge “like drinking from a firehose” according to her veteran teammate. Meanwhile, MOTT delivered the weekend’s most spectacular drive, surging the #120 car from sixth to the race lead during Sunday’s seven-hour challenge and building a commanding 30-second advantage before late-race drama struck. The team’s strategic gambles and flawless execution under pressure showcased exactly why this expanded operation was worth the investment.
• When radio issues forced a last-minute fuel splash for the leading #120 car with just five minutes remaining, MONTGOMERY capitalized perfectly to secure second place, while the sister car held on for third despite the late chaos. The weekend’s double-podium result wasn’t just luck – it was the product of expanded engineering support, new pit crew talent, and strategic additions from Thunder Bunny Racing that transformed AE Victory Racing into a legitimate championship contender capable of executing under the most demanding circumstances.
