Hyundai Motor America earned another podium result with Bryan Herta Autosport’s (BHA) Robert Wickens and Harry Gottsacker finishing in third place at the Road America 120. Gottsacker claimed the pole position and led the first laps of the race.
The Bryan Herta Autosport pair took third place in a dramatic end to the two-hour race when several teams ran out of fuel in the closing laps. Mark Wilkins and co-driver Mason Filippi ran third in the No. 98 Elantra N TCR until he came to a halt on the penultimate lap, allowing Wickens to move by on the track and take over the championship lead.
With the tight race for the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge TCR Drivers’ Championship, Wickens and Gottsacker now lead the point standings by 80 points heading into the Virginia International Raceway weekend.
Hyundai continued to extend their TCR Manufacturers’ Championship lead, with four of the seven Elantra N TCR entries finishing in the top ten positions at Road America. The van der Steur Racing Elantra N TCR, shared by Tyler Maxson and Bryan Ortiz, finished seventh, one spot ahead of Taylor Hagler and Michael Lewis in the third BHA-run Elantra N TCR.
