DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – In its 117-year history, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) has witnessed countless motorsports firsts from various vehicles and interesting iterations.

Whether it’s been open-wheel cars, stock cars, motorcycles or sports cars on either the historic IMS 2.5-mile oval or its emerging 2.439-mile road course, now into its second decade in its current layout and incarnation, winning at Indy means you’ve conquered an iconic facility and you’ll engage in a long lip lock with the fabled bricks.

IMSA made a “first” for Indianapolis in 2024 with the first six-hour TireRack.com Battle On The Bricks. What it will serve up for an encore remains to be seen, but per usual, the 53 cars across four IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship classes have a keen eye on being first across that yard of bricks.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Each and every season the Michelin GT Challenge at VIRginia International Raceway is the chance for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s Grand Touring Daytona Pro (GTD PRO) and Grand Touring Daytona (GTD) competitors to strut their stuff in the spotlight. They seldom disappoint, and this year was no exception.

Not only were the identities of the victors in both categories in some doubt right up until the checkered flag, so were the identities of the rest of the podium finishers. The top three in GTD PRO were covered by five seconds while the GTD podium was blanketed by 2.7 seconds.
