Milner, Udell Make it Eight in a Row in Barber Race 2

Tommy Milner and Alec Udell took their eighth consecutive victory of the season in Fanatec GT World Challenge America powered by AWS by winning Race 2 at Barber Motorsports Park after a late unplanned stop for Random Vandals Racing.

Udell took the No. 63 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R across the line with a lead of 4.690 seconds over the No. 28 ST Racing BMW M4 GT3 of Varun Choksey and Bill Auberlen.

The Corvette ran in second place behind the No. 99 Random Vandals Racing BMW in the hands of Conor Daly heading into the final ten minutes, with the North Carolina-based squad seemingly poised to halt DXDT’s undefeated streak at seven races.

That was until Daly came in for fuel with under six minutes to go, with the team suffering from a reported fuel flow issue on the refueling rig and going a lap down as a result.

Udell was subsequently able to remain clear of Auberlen to claim an eighth straight win and close the points gap to Wright Motorsports to seven points heading into the Indianapolis 8 Hour.

The No. 91 Regulator Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo of Jeff Burton and Philip Ellis completed the overall podium and took the Pro-Am win in the process.

Burton ran at the tail of the field when he handed over to Ellis, with a safety car with just under 30 minutes remaining then bringing the No. 91 car into contention.

That neutralization was triggered when Elias Sabo spun into the Turn 15 gravel aboard the No. 8 Flying Lizard Motorsports BMW.

After the restart, Mercedes-AMG factory driver Ellis stormed up the order and took the class lead with a pass on the No. 29 Turner Motorsport BMW of Justin Rothberg with sixteen minutes to go.

Rothberg and Robby Foley finished fourth overall, ahead of the No. 93 Racers Edge Motorsports Acura NSX GT3 Evo22 driven by Luca Mars and Zach Veach in fifth.

Mars completed a late pass on the No. 120 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R to capture a Pro-class podium, dropping Adam Adelson and Elliott Skeer to fourth in class as a a result.

Samantha Tan and Neil Verhagen rounded off the Pro-Am podium in the No. 38 BMW in seventh overall, ahead of the No. 64 DXDT Racing Chevrolet and No. 88 AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 of Custodio Toledo and Riccardo Agostini.

The overall top ten was completed by the No. 85 RS1 Porsche in the hands of Jake Pedersen and Trent Hindman.

15 out of 16 cars originally entered for the race took the start on Sunday, as the No. 50 Chouest Povoledo Racing Mercedes-AMG was withdrawn having sustained damage in an incident during the GT America powered by AWS race earlier in the day.
