Entry List
After nearly a month-long break following the previous round, the TC America Powered by Skip Barber field is ready to return to the track as they go to Road America for the fifth round of the season. The championship battle continues to heat up as a total of 28 drivers across three classes will take on the infamous old-school track. As the season's final stages begin to inch closer, drivers will tackle the 14-turn, 4.048-mile circuit with grit and determination to capitalize on the remaining championship points up for grabs.
The 4.048-mile, 14-turn course carves around the Wisconsin countryside and is surrounded by campsites within the sprawling facility, including hiking and bike trails, car corrals and a go-kart track along the back straight. Fans will have plenty to see and do with 10 races taking place over the course of three days.
The weekend festivities kick off with the annual GT Parade and Welcome Party on Thursday evening. Series racecars will make the journey from Road America to downtown Elkhart Lake at 5pm for a spectacle on the streets of the Village. Meet the stars and cars of SRO America at Siebkens and enjoy live music, free swag, and Spotted Cow.
TCX
Although Colin Garrett is the current championship leader in the TCX class, many other competitors will be looking to raise a challenge at the National Park of Speed. He has driven his No. 44 Rooster Hall Racing BMW M2 CS (Cup) to a podium finish in all but one race thus far this season, proving that consistency is key in a championship fight.
Last time out at VIR, Maddie Aust was the one to beat in the No. 09 BMW M2 CS (Cup), claiming back-to-back wins in style. Her double victories have brought her closer to Lucas Catania in the standings, who will return to the track in search of more podiums in his No. 26 Rigid Speed Company BMW M2 CS (Cup).
A tight battle is emerging between Adam Gleason in the No. 21 Fast Track Racing BMW M2 CS (Cup) and Joseph Catania in the No. 24 Rigid Speed Company BMW M2 CS (Cup), with Dai Yoshihara, Kenny Schmied and Christopher DeFreitas returning for more action in the No. 99 VGRT Honda Civic Type-R TCX, No. 14 AOA Racing BMW M2 CS (Cup) and the No. 93 Ian Lacy Racing Honda Civic Type-R TCX.
Nick Roberts will be back on the grid in his No. 29 Fast Track Racing BMW M2 CS Racing Clubsport. He will be joined by several newcomers for this round, including Matthew Pombo in the No. 73 LA Honda World Racing Honda Civic Type R TCX, Aaron Kaplan in the No. 18 Kaplan Racing Systems BMW M2 CS (Cup), and Clifton Lipple in the No. 808 AOA Racing BMW M2 CS (Cup).
TC
Following another set of victories at VIR, Clayton Williams has further extended his championship lead in the No. 60 MINI JCW Team Mini JCW Pro TC. After securing four race wins in a row, Williams appears to have settled into a solid rhythm that fellow competitors will be looking to disrupt.
Celso Neto stepped on the podium twice at VIR, with a second and third-place finish in the No. 7 Skip Barber Racing School Honda Civic Type-R further adding to his podium streak. Sally McNulty also had a double podium feature, with the previous round being her best of the season thus far. She will be aiming for another strong performance in the No. 780 Hyundai Veloster N DCT TC.
Jeff Ricca is now sitting third in the championship after he had a more challenging outing in Virginia in his No. 78 Genracer / Ricca Autosport Hyundai Elantra N TC. However, he remains one to watch with four victories to his name already this season.
Cristian Perocarpi will be back behind the wheel of his No. 37 MINI JCW Team Mini JCW Pro TC, joined by Jeremiah Burton returning in his No. 34 Skip Barber Racing School Honda Civic Type-R. Kris Valdez will complete the TC lineup in his No. 11 DRS Honda Civic Type-R.
TCA
The season-long championship battle between Spencer Bucknum in the No. LA Honda World Racing 5 Honda Civic Si FE1 and Devin Anderson in the No. 22 TechSport Racing Subaru BRZ continues to intensify. Anderson has jumped into the top spot following a first and third-place finish in Virginia. In the previous round, William Lambros also took home some podium hardware in the No. 77 Skip Barber Racing School Honda Civic Si FE1.
P.J. Groenke also drove his No. 62 MINI JCW Team Mini JCW to victory in the previous round in Race 2, with Shaoyi Che standing on the podium as well in the No. 23 TechSport Racing Subaru BRZ.
Cooper Broll will complete the TCA grid in the No. 19 Skip Barber Racing School Honda Civic Si FE1, Ruben Iglesias in the No. 88 VGRT Honda Civic Si FE1, and new entry Bruce Myrehn with the No. 63 MINI JCW Team Mini JCW.
