May 2, 2026
GRRL! SUMMARY:
- ERIKA HOFFMANN delivered a remarkable fourth-place finish after starting dead last due to teammate’s qualifying crash. Substitute driver Riley Dickinson carved through the field before handing off to HOFFMANN for a stellar comeback drive.
- LONI UNSER qualified sixth in Silver Class and maintained competitive pace throughout. Her handover to ASHLEY FREIBERG was executed flawlessly, keeping the #24 Kellymoss Porsche in contention for a top-five result.
- ASHLEY FREIBERG absorbed a devastating late drive-through penalty for contact during the final sprint. Despite losing multiple positions, she salvaged sixth in Silver Class through damage limitation in the compressed field.
- Two Full Course Yellows compressed the field and created strategic opportunities. HOFFMANN defended intense late-race pressure while FREIBERG’s penalty came at the worst possible moment during the 20-minute sprint finish.
UPCOMING:
