GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • COURTNEY CRONE delivered back-to-back runner-up finishes at Circuit of The Americas, proving her consistency in the competitive GSX class field. Driving the No. 35 CarBahn Motorsports BMW M4 GT4 EVO, she crossed the line 24.490 seconds behind race winner Westin Workman, maintaining her position as the primary challenger in the championship hunt.
  • Despite facing a dominant performance from Workman, who secured his fourth victory from four starts, CRONE’s weekend performance keeps her within striking distance in the points battle. She trails the leader by 240 points, positioning herself as the most consistent threat to Workman’s perfect season in GSX competition.
  • The GSX class showcased competitive depth with Marc Austin earning his second consecutive third-place finish, but it’s CRONE’s ability to consistently challenge for wins that makes her the standout performer. Her Texas weekend demonstrates the kind of steady performance needed to mount a serious championship challenge as the series heads to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
