Stewards invoked force majeure provisions for the weather-shortened Race 1 to convert an unserved pit-stop penalty into a time addition that alters Pro-Am results.

Overview

  • SRO America applied Article 16.9 after the red-flag suspension prevented the No. 29 Turner Motorsport BMW from serving its mandatory five-second pit-stop penalty.
  • The converted time addition demoted the Turner BMW from second to seventh in Pro-Am and triggered half-point scoring when Race 1 was called before the 45-minute mark.
  • Ross Chouest earned his first GT3 overall victory in the GT America Race 2 during an incident-filled Sunday contest at Road America.
  • Mikael Grenier and Michai Stephens delivered JMF Motorsports a win in GT World Challenge America Race 2, intensifying the Pro-Am championship battle.
  • Despite the weekend’s adjustments, Justin Rothberg and Robby Foley maintain a 31-point lead in Pro-Am and Kenton Koch with Connor De Phillippi continue to top the Pro standings with three races remaining.
