Three Takeaways: IMSA Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park

Analytics Rule; Three First-Timers; A Man For All Seasons (and Classes)

By David Phillips

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.

Upsets at EchoPark Dominate First Round Of In-Season Challenge

By Reid Spencer, NASCAR Wire Service

It didn’t take long to bust every bracket in NASCAR’s inaugural In-Season Challenge.

The first two stages of Saturday night’s Quaker State 400 at EchoPark Speedway took care of that. A seven-car wreck on Lap 57 and a colossal 22-car incident 12 laps later wiped out most of the top choices to win the $1-million top prize in the five-race tournament.

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (June 29, 2025) – 2020 Champion Mike Skeen returned to Victory Lane in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series for the first time since 2022, leading every single lap at Road America on his way to capturing the checkered flag. 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.
