ALEXANDRA HAINER Takes Pro Class Podium, KAIA TEO Battles in Miami Thriller

May 5, 2026

• ALEXANDRA HAINER stepped up from reigning ProAm champion to Pro class, securing podium on debut after teammate Jesse Lazare executed clutch late-race pass under yellow flag following contact ahead.
• KAIA TEO ran third in Pro early, maintaining front-runner pace with substitute co-driver Jon Miller after Sonoma debut win, but contact in closing laps dropped the pair to fourth in class.
• HAINER gained multiple positions on chaotic opening lap, avoided Turn 1 carnage, then charged through AM traffic with sub-2:02 pace while defending from Pro rivals including spinning challenger Stockard.
• Post-pit battle saw Lazare and Miller trading blistering 1:59s separated by three-tenths, fighting intensely for final podium spot with Miller initially claiming position before late-race drama reshuffled order.
• Second race cancelled due to F1 schedule adjustments and persistent rain, making Miami single-race weekend. Series returns Road Atlanta June 12-14 with TEO needing points to maintain championship hunt.
