More SRO America news from Road America

As we prepare for this weekend's SRO America racing action at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, there is more you should know about, and here are those stories.

GT World Challenge America:

First off, there has been a driver change necessitated in the newly entered Random Vandals Racing BMW M4 GT3 in Fanatec GT World Challenge America.  Conor Daly has now been tabbed as the new driver of the #78 Juncos Hollinger Racing IndyCar, and therefore, will be unavailable for the two remaining sprint race weekends of the year in Fanatec GT at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, and Barber Motorsports Park, in Birmingham, Alabama, but will make the Indianapolis 8 Hours season finale enduro at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, in October.  

His replacement will be Madison Snow, the main driver in a BMW M4 GT3 for Paul Miller Racing in the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship.  So, Madison Snow will be teaming up with Kenton Koch in the #99 Random Vandals Racing BMW M4 GT3.
