GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MADELINE STEWART delivered one of her strongest weekends in Porsche Carrera Cup North America, qualifying just a quarter-second off the third row and consistently running competitive lap times that had her regularly posting top-5 sector speeds. The JDX Racing driver’s 1:21.996 qualifying time represented a nearly two-second improvement from practice, showing the kind of progression that separates the adaptable drivers from the rest.
  • Both races saw STEWART battling in a tightly-packed Pro class field where overtaking opportunities were scarce, but her racecraft shone through as she fended off pressure from veteran Michael McCann while mounting her own challenges. In race two, she put serious heat on teammate Sabre Cook, getting within half a second and forcing defensive moves through the final sector before ultimately securing 13th after a penalty promotion.
  • The weekend highlighted STEWART’s growing confidence in wheel-to-wheel combat, particularly her ability to maintain pace under pressure and capitalize on strategic opportunities like avoiding debris and navigating around incidents. With back-to-back points finishes now under her belt heading into the season finale at Circuit of the Americas, she’s building exactly the kind of momentum that turns promising speed into breakthrough results.
