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

August 28, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

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.
