MADELINE STEWART Lands 3-Year IMSA Deal While Grid Expands for 2026 Season

December 26, 2025

• MADELINE STEWART just locked down the kind of deal that shows someone finally gets it – a three-year contract with Czabok-Simpson Motorsport that prioritizes building something sustainable instead of the usual one-season gambling approach. The 25-year-old New Zealander brings legitimate Porsche credentials from her time in the Mobil 1 Female Driver Programme and two seasons of Carrera Cup experience, giving CSM exactly what they need for their GT4 program expansion.
• While STEWART secured her future, the rest of the 2026 IMSA Pilot Challenge grid is shaping up with the usual mix of promising moves and head-scratching decisions. Robert Noaker earned his GT4 promotion the right way – going undefeated in Mustang Challenge – and gets rewarded with the MMR seat alongside Nate Cicero, who already proved the seventh-generation Mustang GT4 can win after taking victory at Road America.
• The expansion continues with VPX Motorsport stepping up from GT4 America to pair teenager Danny Dyszelski with former IndyCar driver Matheus Leist, while KOHR Motorsports confirmed their two-car effort with a touching tribute planned for the Biffle family. Meanwhile, Stallion Motorsports brought in TCR veteran Raphael Reis to partner with D3 Scholarship winner Celso Neto, giving us a grid that’s actually investing in talent development rather than just writing checks.
