The TC America powered by Skip Barber Racing School grid had a bright and early start at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for Race 1. As the sun rose over the Brickyard, the field set off for their penultimate 25-minute sprint of the season.
Jonathan Neudorf continued his late-season charge with another dominant performance, claiming his fourth consecutive victory in TC America powered by Skip Barber Racing competition aboard the No. 4 JMF Motorsports Toyota GR Corolla TC.
Starting from pole position, Neudorf made a clean getaway when the lights went out and immediately began building a gap to the rest of the field, setting the tone early on around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
Behind him, teammate Antonio Costantino ran in second in the No. 3 JMF Motorsports Toyota, but quickly came under pressure from Dean Lambros in the No. 17 Skip Barber Racing Acura Integra Type S. The pair battled closely through the opening laps before Costantino managed to pull clear and establish breathing room, holding firm in second position to the checkered flag.
TC America champion Jeff Ricca enjoyed a consistent drive to fourth place in the No. 78 Ricca Autosport Hyundai Elantra N1 TC EVO, leading the Hyundai contingent, while James Klimas looked poised for a strong top-five finish in the No. 61 Skip Barber Racing Toyota before a late issue on the final lap dropped him down the order.
In the closing minutes, Alana Carter spun her No. 74 Hyundai, but recovered without incident to continue racing to the finish.
At the line, it was a JMF Motorsports 1–2 finish, with Neudorf taking the win ahead of Costantino, who earned his first podium result of the season. Lambros completed the top three to secure another strong result for the Skip Barber Racing Team.
With this victory, Neudorf clinched second place in the TC America championship standings, closing out the penultimate race of the season in style.
