Sofronas Takes Road America Race 2 Victory – Sportscar365

James Sofronas took his first victory of the GT America powered by AWS season after a superb start-to-finish performance in Sunday’s race at Road America.

The GMG Racing team owner/driver held off a challenge from Race 1 winner Justin Rothberg to take victory by 0.379 seconds in his No. 14 Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II over the No. 29 Turner Motorsport BMW M4 GT3.

This came after Rothberg had tried several times to take the lead during the 40-minute race, but the experienced driver managed to withstand the pressure from the GT3 rookie.

Johnny O’Connell completed the overall and SRO3 class podiums in the No. 3 SKI Autosports Audi, ahead of series leader Jason Daskalos in the No. 27 CRP Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo in fourth.

Mirco Schultis completed the top five despite a spin in his Callaway Corvette C7 GT3-R when he challenged Daskalos for fourth place in the final ten minutes of the race.

Kyle Washington, who went off track during the pace lap, and Tim Savage completed the SRO3 class finishing order.

GT4 class honors went to Isaac Sherman, who took his ninth victory of the season in the No. 099 Rotek Racing Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport.

Sherman passed Curt Swearingin on Lap 3, posting a time of 7.623 seconds over the No. 7 ACI Motorsports Porsche that took Saturday’s win.

Gray Newell recovered from a spin on the opening lap to take third in the No. 25 Heart of Racing Team Aston Martin Vantage GT4.
