The question heading into Sunday’s race at the iconic and idyllic 4.048-mile Road America was, can the first-year Z06 GT3.R keep the momentum going from July’s impressive performance in Canada? Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports was hot on the heels of victory after the No. 3 with Sims and Garcia captured the first IMSA win for the Z06 GT3.R in the Chevrolet Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. The duo began from pole position and led 109 of 113 laps en route to a 0.408-second victory over Milner and Catsburg in the No. 4 Z06 GT3.R (while also setting the fastest lap!).

How would the Pratt Miller team respond after an impressive 1-2 GTD PRO finish? And let’s not forget about AWA, the (now) single-car team that races in the GTD class. Heading into the August 4th race in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, the momentum appeared to be holding as Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports swept the GTD PRO front row during qualifying. Before we get to the Road America summary and highlights, let’s do a quick review of the teams and drivers.
