Race one Saturday

James Sofronas, #14 GMG Racing Audi R8 LMS Driver, completed the single-day racing trifecta in GT America with a pole-sitting flag-to-flag race win that also involved earning the fast lap of the race, provisionally opening the door for a repeat flag-to-flag performance in Sunday's competition. Charlie Luck (#45 Porsche 911 GT3 R 991.2) managed to hold off most of the field to take the Masters podium-class flag-to-flag win, while Sean Quinlan (#119 Stephen Cameron Racing BMW M4 GT4) accomplished the same feat in the GT4 class.

The GT America race began with Jason Daskalos (#27 Daskalos Motorsports Audi R8 LMS) executing an excellent pass on GT America points-leader Luck on the starting lap to immediately put himself up three positions into third and Sofronas working on perfecting his line to extend his gap to second-place Memo Gidley (#110 TKO Motorsports Bentley Continental GT3). Luck then started the planning for regaining the position and more from Daskalos, but was eventually joined by Andy Wilzoch (#460 Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R 991.2), Jeff Burton (#91 Rearden Racing Lamborghini Huracan GT3) and Jason Harward (#8 applying pressure from behind and vying for the same spot.

Jason Bell (#2 GMG Racing Aston MArtin Vantage AMR GT4) also made early-race moves to take P1 away from class-leader and pole-qualifier Quinlan, with P3 qualifier Chris Cagnazzi (#39 RENNtech Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT4). The two battled for a while when Quinlan was able to make the pass and regain the class lead. Alex Welch (#76 ROTR Motorsport Audi R8 LMS GT4), Scott Noble (#49 NOLASPORT Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CS MR) and Rob Holland (#99 Rotek Racing Ford Mustang GT4) eventually packed up and engaged in a battle for fourth-in-class.

Around the halfway point of the 40-minute sprint contest, Luck had regained his position from Daskalos and proceeded to execute a systematic widening of his lead over the Audi driver and close in on the second overall while an incident with Adam Adelson (#120 Premier Racing Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CS MR) saw him drop to the back of the field, shifting other contenders closer to the fronts of their respective classes. Daskalos and Wilzoch battled and swapped positions while Harward worked his way past Burton and into the SRO3 podium-class range.

As rain threatened off in the distance and the clock ticked toward the 5-minute-remaining mark, the battles in and between classes for position became more intense with Harward applying pressure to Wilzoch and Daskalos with consistent three-way bumper-to-bumper racing but an errant move cost Harward a few seconds, enough to drop him back enough from Daskalos, who had since taken the fourth position from Wilzoch, and Wilzoch himself. On the last lap of the race, however, Daskalos' Audi suffered a mechanical issue in Turn 5 and dropped off of contention with a DNF. Sofronas and Gidley would finish 1 - 2 overall, with Luck completing the SRO3 class podium and taking the SRO3 Masters podium win with Wilzoch behind him in SRO3-M second place and Burton holding on to sixth overall and third place in Masters class.

Slightly further back in the GT4 charge led by Quinlan, Bell lost position to Chris Cagnazzi (#39 RENNtech Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT4) who had methodically held pace throughout the race until making the move for second-in-class on the last lap. The class would ultimately finish in that order - first, second and third.

Race two Sunday

Andy Wilzoch (#460 Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 991.2) has taken the checkered flag for Race 2 of the Road America weekend after an early incident created Full Course Yellow conditions that continued to the end of the allotted race time. Wilzoch's win captures the top of both SRO3 Overall and Masters podium places, while Sean Quinlan (#119 Stephen Cameron Racing BMW M4 GT4) took the win in the GT4 class.

At the drop of the green flag, it was James Sofronas (#14 GMG Racing Audi R8 LMS Ultra), Memo Gidley (#101 TKO Motorsports Bentley Continental GT3), Charlie Luck (#45 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R 991.2) and Jason Daskalos (#27 Daskalos Motorsports Audi R8 LMS) in qualifying order flying out of the gate. Almost immediately, Daskalos navigated the traffic and executed a pass to get himself into second place, while Luck did the same slightly further back. In the GT4 field, Adam Adelson (#120 Premier Racing Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CSMR) made contact with Grey Newell’s #25 Heart of Racing Team Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 which is believed to have deposited oil on the track between Turns 3 to 6 as both cars continued on.

On the next lap, the oiled surface created a slew of off-track incidents involving two RENNtech Motorsports cars - Chris Cagnazzi's #39 and Ross Chouest's #89 - in Turn 3 and then-frontrunners Sofronas, Gidley and Jason Harward (#88 Zelus Motorsports Lamborghini Huracan GT3) in Turn 5 with Daskalos also affected but able to recover and continue.

The simultaneous incidents created the Full Course Yellow conditions that ran the duration of most of the race as cleanup and removal occurred. Due to long wall repair times, the race was unable to go back to green. The checkered flag was shown to the remaining running field and competitors took the win in their final running orders.

Wilzoch, Burton and Kyle Washington (#32 GMG Racing Porsche 911 GT3-R 991.2) took the SRO3 podium, while TR3 Racing's John Megrue (#10 Lamborghini Huracan GT3) took the third step for the SRO3 Masters podium class. In GT4, the podium was set with Quinlan on the top, Jason Bell (#2 GMG Racing Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4) in the second spot and NOLASPORT's Scott Noble (#49 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CSMR) on third.
