ANNA CECCHI Sweeps Road America, Extends Cayman Championship Lead

August 18, 2026

• ANNA CECCHI delivered a flawless Road America weekend, sweeping both poles and races while setting fastest laps. The Charlie Hayes Racing driver now holds a commanding 85-point championship lead with one round remaining.
• CECCHI’s qualifying dominance was absolute—only driver to break 2:15s, securing pole by quarter-second over Keith Grant. Her consistency proved devastating, running low 2:17s while rivals battled behind in both races.
• Race 1 saw CECCHI control from green to checker, building an 8.5-second margin as Keith Grant dropped to seventh. She led every lap in textbook lights-to-flag performance, her fourth win of the season.
• Multiple cautions in Race 2 couldn’t shake CECCHI’s composure. When championship rival Keith Grant pitted with issues, she managed the gap perfectly, becoming only driver consistently below 2:17 before taking her third straight victory.
• Recently confirmed for Porsche North America’s Female Driver Development Program again, CECCHI arrives at Road Atlanta finale September 11-13 with momentum and substantial points cushion for potential title clinch.
