RILEY PEGRAM Scores Season-Best Sixth; MADDIE AUST Rebounds to Ninth at Indy

September 23, 2026

• RILEY PEGRAM delivered one of her career-best IMSA stints, recovering from early contact with Brown’s Hyundai that sent her to the back before the father-daughter pairing fought through to sixth—Pegram Racing’s strongest 2026 result.
• MADDIE AUST qualified ninth with Bryan Herta Autosport, briefly inherited the class lead after an aggressive pit strategy under caution, but the gamble failed to materialize as she and Wilkins ultimately finished ninth after running as low as eleventh.
• PEGRAM’s qualifying seventh with a 1:32.104 put her ahead of AUST’s ninth-place 1:32.382, both showing strong one-lap pace before the two-hour race descended into chaos with five full-course yellows reshuffling the TCR order repeatedly.
• The result continues PEGRAM’s momentum after consecutive seventh-place finishes at Road America and VIR, lifting her to 12th in standings, while AUST and Wilkins hold sixth in the championship with 220 points heading to the Road Atlanta finale.
