COURTNEY CRONE Secures Back-to-Back Runner-Up Finishes at COTA VP Challenge

March 1, 2026

• COURTNEY CRONE delivered rock-solid consistency at COTA, backing up her Race 1 second-place finish with another runner-up result in GSX competition. She crossed the line 24.490 seconds behind race winner Westin Workman in her #35 CarBahn Motorsports BMW M4 GT4 EVO, proving that while we’re watching Workman’s perfect season unfold, CRONE is quietly building the kind of steady campaign that championship battles are made of.
• The GSX points battle tells the real story here – while Workman sits on a perfect 1,400 points after four straight wins, CRONE trails by just 240 points heading into Mid-Ohio. That gap might look substantial, but we’ve seen how quickly things can change in motorsports. Her back-to-back podiums at COTA show she’s got the pace to capitalize when opportunity knocks, and with Workman admittedly using these races as “test sessions” for his Michelin Pilot Challenge ambitions, the door remains open.
• What’s impressive about CRONE’s weekend is the consistency factor – no drama, no mistakes, just methodical execution that keeps her firmly in championship contention. While others are focused on the dominance story, smart money recognizes that sustained performance like this often pays dividends when the season reaches its critical phases. The next stop at Mid-Ohio could be where we see if CRONE can turn her steady approach into breakthrough results.
