For the final time in 2024, SRO GT World Challenge America has a traditional race format of two races. Here at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, championship battles are coming into focus. After this weekend, only the crown jewel, the Indianapolis 8 Hours, remains on the calendar, the first weekend in October. Alec Udell in the #63 DXDT Racing Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R is on the overall pole sharing with Tommy Milner. Starting in second place, the #93 Racer's Edge Motorsports Acura NSX GT3 driven by Luca Mars and Zach Veach. Phillip Ellis starts third and is on the Pro-Am pole with two BMW M4 GT3's rounding out the top five. Conor Daly has qualified fourth with Bill Auberlen in fifth place.
We have 16 cars in total, lined up for this event. Because the finale, the Indianapolis 8 Hours in less than a month, is bolstered by entries from the SRO Intercontinental GT Challenge, I think we might just see north of 20-25 cars entered for that event including several international GT3 cars. Stay tuned for details. We will cross that bridge when we come to it. Right now, it is time for the first race of two in GT World Challenge America, this weekend, in Alabama. You will notice that the second DXDT Corvette of Bryson Morris and Bryan Sellers has been renumbered to #64 in deference and reference to the number Corvette Racing ran and won successfully with at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for many years.
Barber Motorsports Park is a world-class 2.3 mile, 17 turn track. Champinship implications hanging in the balance. This is the penultimate sprint round of the championship and the final sprint races. Barber Motorsports Park is known as "The Augusta National" of racetracks, referring to the great golf course. Six global manufacturers and 16 cats are ready to go here in Alabama. ST Racing could secure their first ever GT3 class championship. Watch out, too for Wright Motorsports and their Porsche and the two DXDT Corvette's. The AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 is also back.
We are set to do a track preview with Eric Filgueiras, the 2023 Fanatec GT co-champion and shows us the track with our mate, Calvin Fish. Keep the car to the right to maximize the exit out of turn 17. Punch it. Turn one, 130 miles an hour, heavy braking zone, turn in where the curbing begins and into turn two. Slow it down and back to power, losing a little grip. Straighten your hands, the elevation change is bananas into turn five. Heavy braking zone, off camber, no wheelspin. Turns eight and nine, a little curbing in the middle, aim for the middle curb and release the brakes.
Open your hands, pick up your eyes, 125 miles an hour into the chiane. Use a little curbing. Maximum speed of 145 miles an hour. Use the compression towards the tree line into a blind, long durationc roern, turns 14, 15, and 16. All the way to the right on approach for the final turn and down the straightaway! That's fun! Motorcycles were designed in mind with this track, but definitely car racng, too. IndyCar and now Fanatec GT World Challenge America.
We have Ryan Myrehn, and Calvin Fish in the booth, and Amanda Busick in the pit lane. The intensity is ramping up like mad. Set yourself up for a chance to go for it at Indianapolis. This is moving day, like day three of a golf tournament. In a GT3 car like Alec Udell drives, there is always something going on and he believes the Corvette Z06 GT3 is racing very well even with Balance of Performance adjustments. Zach Veach buckling in Luca Mars, his co-driver, starting the race.
Zach Veach has raced here in an IndyCar for several years and now he believes it is much more enjoyable in a sports car, in The Racer's Edge Acura NSX GT3. Regulator Racing are sticking to their opposite strategy, with Jeff Burton and Philip Ellis. Conor Daly, too, is ready to roll. He says he still doesn't quite know what might happen but knows Kenton Koch is the anchor. He says he is not sure what to expect just yet. It is his first visit here in a GT3 car but Daly has raced here in IndyCar before in an open wheel car.
Passing will be at a premium. Take advantage of the mistakes of others. Conor Daly will also race as a part of the Indianapolis 8 Hours next time out. Daly was on the podium in race one of the IndyCar doubleheader at The Milwaukee Mile. 81 degrees Fahrenheit with a light northernly breeze. It is perfect racing weather. Barber Motorsports Park VIP Ashley Greer gives the command to start engines. 16 cars set to start with four races, three races to go. Two sprint races here in Alabama and then the Indianapolis 8 Hours, the jewel in the crown.
We should see an aggressive opening three laps before things settle down. 17 corners, Two and one third miles. Elevation changes of 60-80 feet. The joy of driving is unmatched. This place is a workout for drivers. The track keeps coming at you and it is a slower course. It is all about cornering. Jeff Burton on the Pro-Am pole with their alternate strategy, we'll see. Mercedes not the strongest car even though they were given a break in Balance of Performance this morning. Management will be the deal here. Local businessman George W. Barber, also a racer, dreamed up the track, designed by South African track designer Alan Wilson.
The sports cars return to Barber Motorsports Park. Green flag! Away we go! For the first time in nearly a decade sports cars are racing ehere as Justin Rothberg gets turned around! Oh, man! He'll continue. I think Samantha Tan tagged him. Conor Daly and Philipp Ellis both on the charge. He goes inside Luca Mars for third place. Drama deep in the field. Bryson Morris also goes off the road after he and Bryan Sellers won at Road America. Race Control reviewing the start. Udell leading Ellis and Daly as we speak. Ellis needs to make hay while the sun shines.
Samantha Tan crossed columns I think, at the start. Just tipped Justin Rothberg into a spin on cold tires. Rothberg tried his best to escape and Ross Chouest just barely made it throguh. Conor Daly on the limit of adhesion right now. The testing done by Random Vandals on this car was done on cold tires and full fuel tanks. At the Indianapolis 8 Hours. Kenton Koch and Conor Daly will be joined by BMW factory pilot Connor De Philippi as Luca Mars is putting the heat on Conor Daly and Bill Auberlen is right on his tail as we speak.
Samantha Tan may have jumped the start as Bill Auberlen has passed by Luca Mars. Auberlen and Varun Choksey are on an alternate strategy. One Silver driver is joined on teams in the Pro class in other GT World Challenge championships globally, but not in the American series. Auberlen has gapped Luca Mars. Auberlen on the attack chasing down Conor Daly. Three straight podiums for the Acura NSX GT3 of Luca Mars and Zach Veach. Drive through penalty handed to Samantha Tan, two of them, for a start violation and for a separate penalty of some kind. She needs to get a wriggle on before going a lap down.
Kyle Washington and Ross Chouest scrapping with each other just as they did in GT America competition earlier this morning. Justin Rothberg chasing Elias Sabo in the #8 Flying Lizard Motorsports BMW M4 GT3. A double penalty for Samantha Tan. Turner Motorsports needs to cut into ST Racing's points lead before Indianapolis. Mars dives late under Bill Auberlen and cannot pass. Two drive through penalties for the #38 and they served one and will do another. Jean Fredric Laberge headed for the paddock for MMG Motorsport. Kyle Marcelli his co-driver. They debuted at Road America and scored a class podium.
They should be at the Indianapolis 8 Hours in October, in another month. Rothberg went inside Laberge and some argy bargy there. The most innocent tap can break a control arm in the suspension area. Bryson Morris, second in Pro-Am, seventh in the overall, 12 seconds behind Philipp Ellis. Samantha Tan served both penalties and is barely on the lead lap as Alec Udell leads the motor race. Bill Auberlen and Luca Mars fighting for position and these two are chasing down Conor Daly. Adam Adelson leads the Pro class championship by 35 points. The streak for Tommy Milner and Alec Udell, six wins on the bounce.
They've carved 38 points out of Adelson and Skeer's lead. Kyle Marcelli tells us that the team is not sure what happened. They think the clutch went out of the car. Lots of RPM and no forward drive. A clutch should last a full 24 hours, like the 24 Hours of Spa or even the Indianapolis 8 Hours in a month. MMG wants to come back and run a full season campaign in 2025. Marcelli, the 2021 Fanatec GT World Challenge America Pro-Am champion. Ross Chouest passes by Justin Rothberg into the braking zone for turn eight.
Wildly plunging downhill is the next turn kind of like a miniature version of The Corkscrew at Laguna Seca Raceway in California. Rothberg has been rattled and needs to settle down. He is a graduate of Ferrari Challenge and is a GT3 rookie. He is adaptable and not easily flustered. Today has been a bugaboo. Rothberg was hot! He was not a happy bunny and had to cool off after the GT America race. When you have trouble, you have to adapt. Right at the very end of the GT America race, there was no action on the contact with Jason Daskalos of course.
Two BMW's fighting out of the Alabama rollercoaster, Auberlen vs. Daly. This is extremely close as we have been racing now for 15 minutes. Auberlen has uncorked the fastest lap of the motr race at 1:23.095. Not much in it between the fastest cars. Ellis is scrapping now with the Corvette of Bryson Morris. Regulator Racing hope for no caution flags so Jeff Burton can go for it. No pit window per se but there is a maximum drive time. We will see a halfway pit stop for fuel, tires, and a driver change but no pit window like the global championships in Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Ellis seems content to sit behind Alec Udell for now. Tire management is key. The points are separated by 20 between first and second and another 20 second to third. It is just a 40 point swing currently. The half dozen wins for DXDT and Corvette is unreal. Tommy Milner did all the development on the GT3 Corvette last year. It is not characteristic to see Wright Motorsports struggling so much as Justin Rothberg passes Ross Chouest before plugning downhill with the Ferrari ahead in the hands of Custodio Toledo, the Brazilian.
The points as they stand now, cotinue to change. Justin Rothberg is the faster car compared to Toledo. Rothberg has not driven against these drivers in Fanatec GT World Challenge. Wow, washing out, understerring, is Toledo and Washington lunges towards Chouest but almost loses control. Now it is back to the Daly vs. Auberlen story. Conor Daly has very little experience in a BMW GT3 car vs. the man who has the most as Bill Auberlen has raced with BMW for 28 years. He will continue racing and does not plan to slow down.
Conor Daly, Bill Auberlen, Luca Mars. There is a great rhythm and flow, an undulation through the rolling countryside here in Alabama. It is wild. Udell stymied by lapped traffic, the Am class Ferrari 296 GT3 of Jay Schreibman. Udell has Philip Ellis right on his tail. Neither of them is too aggressive currently. Great job by Jay Schreibman allowing them to play through. Schreibman a veteran of Ferrari Challenge. We have seen the BMW M4 GT3's, a couple of them, with dramas. Samantha Tan is cutting some good lap times, matching Alec Udell.
One hour and seven minutes to go. Jon Miller at ST Racing reminded Samantha Tan about the pace and the fact she is the points leader. This is the opposite of what Justin Rothberg is going through and we might just see a fight to the finish at the Indianapolis 8 Hours, double points on offer in that enedurance race. Right now, the gaps are 35 points between first and second and 53 points back to third place. Rothberg has a lot of pace as Udell uncorks a 1:23.19 his personal best and Auberlen, fastest of all at 1:23 dead.
At Barber Motorsports Park, we have been talking about tires all weekend. But the Pirelli P Zero tires seem to be holding together well. Philip Ellis backing the car up to try catching Alec Udell and Samantha Tan is fighting to stay on the lead lap. Poor old Philip Ellis is getting stymied right now. Through the Alabama Rollercoaster, Udell puts Tan a lap down! Goodness me! Ellis makes his way through and Tan will pick up clag on her Pirelli tires. The Daly and Auberlen batte contimues with Luca Mars behind.
An uncharacteristic day for Samantha Tan and Neil Verhagen on this Saturday. Bill Auberlen and Alec Udell have the pace through the three individual sectors on the circuit. In qualifying, maybe Auberlen needed a wee bit more one lap pace. Auberlen and Varun Choksey have been trying to find pace all year and they finally have. They had six consecutive podiums but were not contending with the #120 Wright Motorsports Porsche until now, Adam Adelson and Elliott Skeer. The lack of testing is a bear. We will have another race weekend here at Barber Motorsports Park for SRO America next year.
Tonight, teams that haven't found the sweet spot will be tweaking before race two tomorrow. Bill Auberlen through turn 16 gets a real twitch and almost spins! Wow! Conor Daly may be a rookie in GT3 but he is driving extremely well, keeping a BMW expert like Bill Auberlen behind. But here comes Auberlen and they squeeze each other on corner exit! This is unreal! Hang on for eight minutes before pti stops to hand over to Kenton Koch. IndyCar racer vs. a couple of sports car drivers, a veteran in Auberlen and a rising star with Luca Mars.
Just under an hour of racing left on the board. The Indianapolis 8 Hours will be wild with Intercontinental GT Challenge. Bathurst, Nurburgring, Spa, and Indianapolis. Some of the greatest, most historic tracks on the planet. Ellis is doing his job for Regulator Racing to make their strategy work. Ellis' season with class wins at the big endurance races at Daytona, Sebring, Spa, and the Watkins Glen 6 Hours and an overall win in Fanatec GT World Challenge America as well. We are about to see the #8 Flying Lizard BMW M4 GT3 of Elias Sabo and Andy Lee go a lap down. The worst case scenario for Regulator Racing is a yellow in the second stint.
That will throw their strategy up in the air. Elias Sabo lets leader Alec Udell through, and he does fight Philip Ellis just a bit. Conor Daly is now trying to push Sabo and Auberlen. Auberlen gives Sabo the chrome horn. Conor Daly is chasing Alec Udell, the #63 Corvette which has won six races in a row, going for seven. Tommy Milner will be battling Kenton Koch in the second half of the race. This is their second race, for Random Vandals, at the GT3 level. They didn't get to race properly at Road America last time out. Ellis is going to stretch his drive time to 50 minutes and we are very close to the maximum drive time elapsing before pit stops.
Bryan Sellers suited and booted and ready to go. Bryson Morris, second in Pro-Am before handing over the #64 Corvette. Udell in the sister #63 is giving it a good Saturday drive so far. From Mount Juliet, Tennessee, a home race for Bryson Morris who won his class in a TCR spec Hyundai Elantra along with Mason Filippi, Mark Wilkins, and Harry Gottsacker. Jake Pedersen third, a musician, and a racing driver, a sim racer, in Utah. This livery was inspired by artist Jean Michel Basqia. Pedersen is quite the character. 51 minutes is the mark before drivers can hit pit lane for driver changes.
A couple cars are diving for the lane. Washington and Chouest, handing over to Tom Sargent and Aaron Povoledo. Okie dokie then. Perfect execution with no jokers. Four tires, fuel, and a driver change. Wirght Motorsports is in and so is one of the ST Racing BMW's. At Wright Motorsports it will be Elliott Skeer in. Samantha Tan handing off to Neil Verhagen. Damage limitation mode for Wright Motorsports in their hot scrap with DXDT.
A tight squeeze out of the pit lane! Yikes! Skeer up on the wheel, whistling past Andy Lee. Racer's Edge Acura are in and so is the #64 DXDT Corvette. Udell pits. Philip Ellis has clean air currently in terms of the strategy. Jeff Burton needs to be within shooting distance of Bryan Sellers. OK. Philip Ellis has to put the welly down and build a gap as Random Vandals are in the lane with Conor Daly handing over to Kenton Koch. A good recovery as Justin Rothberg is now handing over to Robby Foley at the Turner Motorsports BMW team. A clean stop, too, for Random Vandals.
Nearing the halfway mark. We do have tire warmers here in GT World Challenge America but that will not be the case in 2025 as Veach goes defensive and the two make contact! Kenton Koch probably got into the antilock brakes there. He needed more room. Just crinkling the right front fender on that BMW. Racer's Edge had the "edge" in the lane, no pun intended as Random Vandals might have been a wee bit slow. But also, Tommy Milner had the fastest outlap and he uncorks fastest lap of the motor race at 1:22.7. The undercut cometh and it works. Well, well, well.
Halfway home as Philip Ellis will pit and so will Bill Auberlen. This is the alternate strategy, strategy B where they can stay on the road for another four minutes. They need to break the timing beam at the 40 minute mark. The fastest lap is being tossed around like a volleyball. Meanwhile, the fight is on for second in Pro as Kenton Koch slides past Zach Veach. Watch that runoff area before turn two. Use up all the road and don't allow Veach to run the cushion. Let's see what pace Kenton Koch has. He seems to be setting sail.
Zach Veach debuted in IndyCar for Ed Carpenter Racing here at Barber Motorsports Park in 2017. Into the second half of the race, this is the last lap before pitting and now the Flying Lizard BMW has been pinged with a speeding penalty for Andy Lee. Good grief. 34 seconds down the lane, 25 second delta and of course, a stop and hold penalty. We saw Flying Lizard start the season with Aston Martin as Kenton Koch resets fastest lap but Milner is pushing and so is Foley who takes fastest lap away by one one thousandth of a second.
An extra chip at lunch? An extra cookie? Maybe. Ellis in the lane, Jeff Burton will be nursing the car to the end. How will Varun Choksey start his stint replacing Bill Auberlen for the second half of the race? Tires and fuel. Not as much tire deg as the mechanics change tires. Pit stops need to be perfect. Wheels tightened with the rattle guns, cars down off the air jacks and away. Tommy Milner takes the overall lead. Kenton Koch leads the Pro class as Varun Choksey is now racing Zach Veach for a wee while.
Hot tires but they need a half a lap to get pressures and temperatures into their sweet spot. Next year, there will be stone cold tires with no tire warmers. Burton now beginning to find his rhythm on the road. Can he nurse the gap? Bryan Sellers is next up and Kenton Koch goes by in a Pro class car. Burton does not need to fight. Burton's pit stop will mean a two second time penalty. Gone are the jokers if you are a second under the minimum and now it is a factor of ten. 37 minutes to go. Sellers in the Corvette needs more time to catch Burton in the Mercedes.
A yellow will change everything, as Varun Choksey is trying to pass Burton for the lead. Veach has gone very well but cannot catch the #28 BMW M4 GT3. Varun Choksey started with single seaters and transitioned to sports cars. Choksey, tight quarters, and now, Zach Veach goes inside Burton and is now going to chase down Varun Choksey for the lead. Sellers is two and three quarters of a second faster than Burton as Kenton Koch is carving time out of Tommy Milner's lead. 35 minutes to go. The #63 Corvette has won five races, six in class I believe. Kenton Koch is closing in.
It is game on. Corvette vs. BMW. 34 minutes of the race remaining. Burton has now responded to Sellers. Sellers at a 1:22.9. Don't sleep on Elliott Skeer who just uncorked a 1:22.7 picking up the scraps for Wright Motorsports. They are fifth with Milner leading, it is a 15 point swing. The gap is now 2.5 seconds between Milner and Koch. Wow! Kenton Koch just fractionally slower than his fastest lap of the race thus far. Unreal! The BMW could have too much pace over the Corvette's. Paul Sparta, the team boss of Random Vandals, suffered a back injury. He and Kris Wilson have led the Am class in GT4.
Conor Daly has raced in NASCAR, too in the truck series and the Xfinity series. Robby Foley was running down Trent Hindman. Now, Hindman is making more time. Half an hour to go. At the front, the battle for the lead is beginning to boil. Tommy Milner now has Kenton Koch very close, just a second apart! The Random Vandals BMW is coming. Kenton Koch reeling Milner in hand over fist, pouring on the steam. Kenton Koch cuts another 1:22.9 laps four tenths faster than the Corvette. Koch struggling with the front end of the BMW through turn 16.
This is for the Pro class lead as Jeff Burton leads Pro-Am with Bryan Sellers moving in to try and make a pass and the #91 stll has a penalty in their future. Get the car positioned up over the curb in the final turn to tuck the nose in. Not many big passing zones here at Barber Motorsports Park. The Corvette had power and weight taken away and the BMW had power and weight added. On an open race track, it is wild to see the differences in how these cars work. The BMW is compliant over the curbs. Paul Sparta is here at the track.
Paul Sparta has worked with Conor Daly for 15 yeaes and Daly and Koch do so well helping each other as drivers, as a driver tandem. 25 minutes to go and Paul Sparta believes the boys at Random Vandals have the pace. Sparta will be back behind the wheel at the end of this year and into the beginning of 2025. Varun Choksey also doing a great job managing the advantage given to him by Bill Auberlen as Zach Veach goes off in the dirt! He is pushing for a podium. Jeff Burton cutting decent laps. Ricardo Agostini and Neil Verhagen have a fight of their own for 12th and 13th place.
Each place Verhagen gains could be a way to get to the title. Jeff Burton has laid down a 1:24.1 just off of Bryan Sellers' pace. 22 minutes to go yielding 15-16 laps. Jeff Burton is stepping u and now, Verhagen and Agostini all over each other! This is a real scrap. Damage limitation for ST Racing as Robby Foley and Justin Rothberg for Turner Motorsports, the rival BMW team, are catching up in a big hurry. Agostini has no skin in the championship game. He just wants to impress. He won a Lamborghini Super Trofeo title in 2017 and has won Italian GT championships in Sprint and Endurance formats.
Verhagen moves up another spot to seventh place. Elliott Skeer is a quick driver and he and Adam Adelson are best buddies just the same. 20 minutes to go. Georgina the mannequin hanging out above as they head to the Museum corner. Jeff Burton and Philip Ellis could win their second race of the year. Agostini is on a different lap compared to Skeer and Burton. Skeer goes wide and gets back online. Burton is stepping up to the plate at a circuit that is not an easy drive for an amateur driver.
Barber Motorsports Park is about as technically challenging and physically exhaustng as any. Burton is a skier and is applying those skills through these turns. Tommy Milner leads Kenton Koch by 3/10ths of a second as Skeer clears Burton as Agostini might. He sees Agostini and lets him through. Also, let Oswaldo Negri Jr. by. 17 minutes remaining in the race, make it 16. Traffic looming ahead of Tommy Milner. Kenton Koch needs Milner to be stymied.
Aaron Povoledo in 11th, running just a tenth or two off the leaders' times. It will not be easy if Koch does not want to make it easy. Milner is hitting his marks, a veteran Corvette driver. Kenton Koch trying to solve the puzzle here. Get the bite, get the grip, and stay with him. Can Random Vandals end DXDT's stranglehold on the Pro class? Or, will DXDT win seven straight races? That is the big queston. Milner needs the win because of the championship and a 15-point swing with bad luck for Wright Motorsports. One more 90-minute sprint race here at Barber tomorrow.
The we go into the Indianapolis 8 Hours with the Intercontinental GT Challenge powered by Pirelli next month. Tommy Milner leading the race. Alec Udell is not worried about the championship just yet and he is aware of the competition at Wright Motorsports and the Porsche. Focus on races and maximize the race potential. #120 are down in fifth place down by 20 points 195-175. Jeff Burton will cop a two second time penalty at the end of the race. Sellers just needs to do what he has to. Ten minutes left.
Burton has done a great job. For the win, you might be right, but there is still a podium chance. Trent Hindman in the RS1 Porsche #85 and Robby Foley in the #29 Turner Motorsports BMW are both coming, fast. Aaron Povoledo is still a tenth of a second faster than the leaders. Koch is looking isnde of Milner and that was tight through the final corner! Koch putting Milner under big pressure! A couple top rated drivers, both class winners at the Rolex 24. Milner has won Le Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Six wins in a row here in GTWC America and wants to make it seven.
The seven point swing for the title is massive. They need the 15 points to gain on the #120 Wright Motorsports Pprsche. Bryan Sellers gaining on Jeff Burton then comes Hindman and Foley. Traffic remains as Tommy Milner is firmly in control of the situation with less than eight minutes to go. Corvette vs. BMW. In the Pro-Am class it is a battle between Jeff Burton and Bryan Sellers. Sellers is closing in and Trent Hindman in third in Pro-Am followed by Robby Foley. Lots left to play out here. A veteran drive by Tommy Milner.
Jeff Burton fighting for everything he's worth. The gap is closing between Burton and Sellers! Could it be a DXDT Corvette sweep? We'll need to see. Time is of the essence. Burton ahead on the road but behind on adjusted time. Aaron Povoledo and Ross Chouest are showing incredible pace! They've been on the back foot this season but now they are finding the sweet spot. Kenton Koch closing in on Tommy Milner and in the Pro-Am class, we are seeing Burton vs. Sellers. Bryan Sellers makes the move but goes deep! Ellis, Regulator Racing running with DXDT and Sellers was told to pull the pin.
Trent Hindman going for a podium as Zach Veach wrestles his way past Varun Choksey who runs wide and loses bodywork! Mama Mia! Veach found the solution to Choksey's riddle. Tom Sargent just uncorked the fastest lap of this motor race with less than three minutes to go and Aaron Povoledo, being a gentleman, letting the leaders by. Povoledo is smart and makes a statement that he will be a gentleman about it. He is showing he can drive quickly. Two laps to go. Less than two minutes on the clock.
Kenton Koch has other ideas chasing down Tommy Milner in the waning laps. White flag. One lap to go at Barber Motorsports Park with Tommy Milner going for seven wins on the bounce. Big points for finishing on the podium. Samantha Tan and Neal Verhagen mired down the order in 12th place. Kenton Koch cannot keep the pace of Tommy Milner here. Milner has managed his tires and of course I think Koch's tires are busted having to push. Keeping the powder dry yields the seventh straight Pro class win for Tommy Milner and Alec Udell as well as the DXDT team!
A podium result for Kenton Koch and Conor Daly for Random Vandals BMW and in Pro, third places goes to Zach Veach and Luca Mars in the Racer's Edge Motorsports Acura NSX GT3. In Pro-Am, DXDT sweeps with Bryson Morris and Bryan Sellers! Jay Schreibman, Ozz Negri Jr. and AF Corse Ferrari win the Am class.
Overall/Pro: #63 Udell/Milner DXDT Racing Chevrolet Corvettre Z06 GT3.R
Pro-Am: #64 Sellers/Morris DXDT Racing Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R
Am: #163 Schreibman/Negri Jr. AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3
Cuethe dance music for the results, as the chasers make up ground in the points standings before we get to the second race tomorrow and into the big one for the finale at the Indianapolis 8 Hours next month. Well, well, well. What a day! What a race! We will see you tomorrow for more GT World Challenge America action for race two here at Barber Motorsports Park. Have a good evening, everybody. See you tomorrow.
