DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – IMSA’s lightning-fast, exotic Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) entries from Acura, Aston Martin, BMW, Cadillac, Lamborghini and Porsche bring unquestioned prestige, high-tech, speed and glamour to the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
But as Sunday’s Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park demonstrated, the WeatherTech Championship’s other three classes of Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), Grand Touring Daytona Pro (GTD PRO) and Grand Touring Daytona (GTD) can put on one heckuva show when left to their own devices.

Polesitter Skeen’s No. 2 Guthrie’s Garage machine had dominant speed, allowing him to defend the point position through multiple restarts and pull out to tremendous gaps under green-flag conditions. Behind him, fifth-place starter Tristan McKee (No. 28 Spire/Gainbridge/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro) quickly advanced to the front and passed second-place starter Corey Day (No. 17 HendrickCars.com/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro) on lap two, and the trio of TeamSLR-built M1 racecars defended their podium positions for the remainder of the race. Thomas Annunziata (No. 90 Gazoo Racing/Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry), who made his first laps this weekend at Road America in the race, advanced from the 23rd spot to finish fourth, and seventh-place starter Valentin Aguirre (No. 12 Memo Corse/CAN/Elf Oil Ford Mustang) claimed his first-career top-five finish.

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (June 28, 2025) – For the second weekend in a row, the CD Racing team of Chris Dyson and Matthew Brabham dominated the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli TA/GT race, with the team earning its second 1-2 finish in as many races. This time, it was Dyson’s No. 16 GYM WEED Ford Mustang that took the checkered flag, securing his second win of the 2025 season at Road America. Brabham (No. 21 GYM WEED Ford Mustang) started the race from the pole, but Dyson took the point position in the first turn and never looked back, leading until the checkered flag waved and securing his 28th-career victory. Brabham was never far behind, holding off challenges from Adam Andretti (No. 17 Top Liner Chevrolet Camaro) and Paul Menard (No. 3 Pittsburgh Paints/Menards Ford Mustang), but he was never unseated from the runner-up position.

ELKHART LAKE – If NASCAR is returning to Wisconsin with a national race anytime soon, Road America’s president gave no indication that would happen at his track.
