Three Takeaways: IMSA Michelin GT Challenge at VIR (By David Phillips)
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.
NASCAR Cup Series teams head to Darlington Raceway for the second time this season, and a largely similar Goodyear Racing Eagle tire setup awaits them.
A combination of chamber of commerce weather coupled with a School Bus Demolition Derby drew a standing room only crowd to Riverhead Raceway Saturday evening for another exciting race program. Eric Hersey of Commack led the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series winners when he topped the 25-lap Eagle Chevrolet Crate Modified feature. The large turnout was confirmed as the largest since Eddie & Connie Partridge & Tom Gatz began operating the historic venue in 2016 after purchasing it in 2015.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Since its rebirth in Y2K, VIRginia International Raceway has set the standard for amenities for spectators and competitors alike. Fans enjoy wandering the meticulously groomed lawns of the 3.27-mile, 17-turn facility, with countless A+ viewpoints, virtually unlimited access to the paddock and garage area, and some of the best track food this side of the Circuit de la Sarthe … why there’s even a tavern and restaurant on site. Competitors embrace the challenges of some of the most demanding and iconic sections of racetrack in North America with names like Horse Shoe, NASCAR Bend, Left Hook, Snake, the Climbing Esses, Oak Tree Curve, Roller Coaster and Hog Pen.
