GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • The HANNAH duo made the jump from GT4 America to IMSA’s premier support series, where they’re trading three-car fields for 30-car scrums in the GS class. Heart of Racing team principal Ian James sees this as “the next evolution” for drivers who consistently excelled in longer SRO endurance formats, particularly at Circuit of the Americas.
  • GRISHAM delivered exactly what you want from a strategic opener at Daytona – clean driving, fuel conservation, and a brilliant pit sequence that vaulted the team from 10th to 3rd. Her second stint got spicier with multiple yellow flags creating strategic opportunities, proving she can adapt when the race situation shifts mid-stream.
  • GREENEMEIER got the sharp end of multicar contact during her stint, getting “sandwiched” and spun while running competitively. But she handled the setback with the kind of perspective that suggests this team is building something sustainable rather than just chasing quick results in their new 30-car playground.

UPCOMING:

  • Next IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Round
  • Heart of Racing WEC Campaign
