Overview

  • Turner Motorsport’s Justin Rothberg led from pole to win GT America Race 2 by 9.182 seconds, securing his sixth victory of the season.
  • The result moved Rothberg 37 points clear with two races remaining, setting up a chance to clinch the title in the first Indianapolis race.
  • Contact from Tony Davis with Ross Chouest triggered damage and a rear fire that ended Chouest’s race, and Davis served a drive-through plus a stop-and-go for speeding in the pit lane.
  • JMF Motorsports’ Mikael Grenier and Michai Stephens won GT World Challenge America Race 2 by 28.658 seconds, while Random Vandals’ fuel pickup issues forced early fuel stops before a recovery to third overall.
  • DXDT Racing’s Blake McDonald and Matt Bell took Pro-Am honors from fourth overall, and multiple incidents remain under race control review with results listed as unofficial.
