SAMANTHA TAN, HANNAHS GRISHAM & GREENEMEIER Lead 7 Women at Daytona GS Field

January 20, 2026

• Seven women are set to compete in the GS class at Daytona’s season opener, including the standout all-female pairing of HANNAHS GRISHAM and GREENEMEIER in Heart of Racing’s No. 26 Aston Martin. SAMANTHA TAN, the 2025 VP Challenge GTDX Bronze Cup champion, teams with IMSA legend Bill Auberlen in Random Vandals Racing’s No. 38 entry, bringing serious credentials to what’s shaping up as one of the strongest women’s fields we’ve seen.
• The depth continues with MADELINE STEWART graduating from Porsche Carrera Cup to pilot CSM’s No. 2 Porsche, while MEGAN TOMLINSON makes the jump from TCR to GS alongside her father Ron in the No. 22 Shopify Racing Porsche. Two newlywed couples round out the women’s representation: AURORA STRAUS with husband Kenny Murillo in the No. 24 Murillo Racing Mercedes-AMG, and returning duo CHRISTINE and BEN SLOSS in their No. 10 van der Steur Racing Aston Martin.
• In TCR, MADISON AUST gets promoted to Bryan Herta Autosport’s flagship No. 98 Hyundai Elantra alongside 2019 champion Mark Wilkins after proving herself in the developmental program. The 51-car field represents the largest Pilot Challenge grid since 2020, with defending GS champions RS1 moving up to WeatherTech, leaving the title fight wide open for this talented group of women to make their mark on what promises to be an incredibly competitive season.
