Riley Dickinson reminded his 2025 Porsche Carrera Cup North America competitors at Sebring International Raceway just why he is a former champion in the series.

The 2023 Pro title winner returned with a vengeance after a one-year hiatus and completed an opening round sweep with Kellymoss.

After scoring the Race Brew Pole Award and subsequent Race 1 win on Thursday, Dickinson started from the pole position once again and led flag-to-flag en route to the double victory at Sebring by more than five seconds.

“It’s definitely been a great feeling to be back and after yesterday, definitely learned a lot,” said Dickinson after his second victory. “That was my first time for a full Carrera Cup race on Yokohamas, so I certainly learned how the tire builds throughout the race.

“Ultimately, I think we made a couple of adjustments in the positive direction on setup, and it feels good to be back.”

Ryan Yardley proved to be a valiant contender with Topp Racing but came up shy of the win at Sebring – finishing second in both contests. Meanwhile, JDX Racing’s Zachary Vanier improved race-over-race by finishing sixth on Thursday and landing third on the podium on Friday by less than a second.

In the Pro-Am class, JP Martinez has officially burst onto the Carrera Cup scene in his debut with ACI Motorsports, scoring both wins in Rounds 1 and 2. While Martinez fell back to second behind Pro-Am competitor Alan Metni at the start of race 2, the Miami-based racer regained the top spot before a lengthy yellow flag a few minutes into the contest.

“It feels amazing, and I can’t ask for a better start to the season with two wins, with a fast lap, with the poles,” said Martinez. “I’m really happy. I want to give a big thank you to ACI, the guys over there rock. The car was amazing and felt good today.

“It’s going to be a fun season, and I’m looking forward to it.”

Metni wound up runner-up for the second consecutive day with Kellymoss, while Martinez’s ACI Motorsports teammate, Marco Cirone, finished third just as he did the day prior.

Ruckus Racing’s Scott Blind continued his Porsche dominance with a weekend sweep of his own in the Masters class less than two weeks after securing wins in Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama and Porsche Endurance Challenge North America.

“Sebring and PMNA, they’ve been really good to me,” Blind acknowledged post-race. “Porsche has really been good to me these last couple weeks. The team, I can’t say enough how great they are and how well they’ve done with this car and help from Andrew Davis. I don’t know, we’re just on a roll.”

Following behind Blind was Richard Edge with ACI Motorsports in second and JTR Motorsports Engineering’s Peter Atwater in third, mirroring Thursday’s results.

An enormous stage awaits Porsche Carrera Cup North America as the series joins Formula One at the Miami Grand Prix for its next doubleheader. Round 2 is scheduled for May 2 – 4.

All race replays throughout the 2025 season are available on the IMSA & Porsche Motorsport North America YouTube Channels, and on Peacock.
