Racers Edge Motorsports has claimed a sweep of the GT World Challenge America powered by AWS weekend at Road America, with Trent Hindman and Shelby Blackstock taking a commanding win in Race 2 on Sunday.

Blackstock drove the No. 93 Acura NSX GT3 Evo to a 21.276-second win over the No. 33 Winward Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 of Indy Dontje, who came from fifth in the field to finish second.

Dontje got around the No. 20 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R of Fred Poordad with 20 minutes to go in the 90-minute race.

Up front it marked Hindman and Blackstock’s third consecutive overall win, in another flawless run.

The No. 04 DXDT Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo of George Kurtz and Colin Braun finished third overall and took top class honors in GT3 Pro-Am.

It was enough to put Braun and Kurtz back into the championship lead after a tough race for the Squadra Corse duo of Rodrigo Baptista and Martin Fuentes, who finished fifth.

David Askew and pole-sitter Ryan Dalziel came home fourth overall, with Poordad and Max Root, who impressed in his opening stint against Dalziel, fading to sixth in the end.

RESULTS: Race 2
