GRISHAM and GREENEMEIER Secure Fourth Pole Before Late Chaos Costs Podium

September 23, 2026

• HANNAH GREENEMEIER captured the all-female Heart of Racing Team’s fourth overall GS pole of 2026 with a blistering 1:29.351 lap, maintaining a consistent two-second advantage over challengers through multiple restarts while controlling the opening stint.
• HANNAH GRISHAM recorded the race’s fastest lap and executed a remarkable recovery drive from 12th to podium contention after difficult pit strategy sequences, consistently running two seconds per lap quicker than leaders before late caution neutralized the charge.
• The pairing has now secured three consecutive overall poles (Watkins Glen, Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, Road America) with GRISHAM becoming the first woman to take GS pole at Watkins Glen, establishing themselves as legitimate front-runners in their maiden IMSA Pilot Challenge campaign.
• Multiple full-course yellows disrupted race strategy, with a fuel-triggered caution five minutes from the finish and chaotic wet restart dropping the #26 Aston Martin from fourth to sixth despite demonstrating genuine podium pace throughout the two-hour contest.
• With one round remaining at Road Atlanta, GRISHAM and GREENEMEIER sit seventh in GS championship standings with 1,180 points, having recorded three top-ten finishes alongside their extraordinary qualifying performances throughout the 2026 season.
