ALEXANDRA HAINER Extends Championship Lead with Back-to-Back VIR Podiums

July 22, 2025

• ALEXANDRA HAINER maintained her McLaren Trophy America Pro-Am championship lead with a pair of second-place finishes at Virginia International Raceway, proving that consistency beats flash every time. While others crashed out or collected penalties, Hainer and teammate Jesse Lazare executed clean, strategic races that kept them at the front when it mattered.
• The weekend showcased HAINER’s racecraft under pressure, particularly in race two where she took over the Pro-Am lead after rival John Dempsey served a penalty, then held her ground through a late-race restart before ultimately finishing just one second behind after a hard-fought battle. Her ability to lead laps and defend position against experienced competitors demonstrates why she’s setting the early-season pace.
• With three wins and three podiums from six races this season, HAINER and the Motorsports In Action team have established themselves as the duo to beat in Pro-Am. Their tactical approach—avoiding the drama while capitalizing on others’ mistakes—has them perfectly positioned heading into Road America, where they’ll aim to return to the top step of the podium.
