GRRL! SUMMARY:
- MADDIE AUST and co-driver Suellio Almeida delivered a flawless fifth-place finish at Road Atlanta, capping their rookie IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season with their third top-five result. The Bryan Herta Autosport duo’s consistent performance throughout the year earned them eighth in the championship standings—pretty impressive for first-timers in one of the most competitive touring car series around.
- RILEY PEGRAM’s promising race came to a frustrating end when a GS-class Porsche punted her into the barriers during a strong opening stint. Despite the DNF, she and father Larry finished 13th in points with four top-tens this season, including a best of ninth at Sebring. Sometimes the racing gods just aren’t fair to the drivers who deserve better.
- Canadian duo MEGAN TOMLINSON and father Ron battled through a challenging finale to finish 12th, while CHRISTINA LAM ended P13 despite showing the kind of pace that didn’t match her final position. Both completed their rookie campaigns with valuable experience—Tomlinson secured 11th in points while Lam’s partial season included two top-tens that proved she belongs in this field.
UPCOMING:
- 2026 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season opener at Daytona
- IMSA off-season testing and development programs
