MADDIE AUST & RILEY PEGRAM Keep Top-10 Streak Rolling at VIR TCR Round

August 28, 2025

• MADDIE AUST continues proving she belongs in IMSA’s TCR class, delivering an eighth-place finish at VIR that extends her remarkable consistency streak. The Bryan Herta Autosport rookie has now notched six top-10s this season, including five consecutive finishes, showing the kind of steady progression that separates legitimate contenders from one-hit wonders in this competitive field.
• RILEY PEGRAM bounced back from mechanical gremlins that sidelined her team during Friday practice to claim her second straight top-10 finish. Despite a drive-through penalty for a pit infraction, Pegram’s improved pace throughout her stint – consistently hitting 1:59s – demonstrated the growth we’ve been tracking all season before handing off to her father Larry for the P10 result.
• MEGAN TOMLINSON’s weekend showcased both the promise and pitfalls of family racing operations, as she and father Ron battled penalties and technical issues but still managed to salvage points with a 12th-place finish. The Canadian driver’s early-season momentum – including that impressive stint leading at Road America – keeps getting derailed by circumstances beyond her control, but the underlying speed remains evident.
