In segment two, we talk about Corvette racing and Corvette rumors.

Keith, let's start with racing like we always do.

Let's talk about Corvette racing and how they did at Virginia International Raceway.

Yeah, so Tommy Milner and Nikki Katzberg placed sixth at Virginia International Raceway, the number four Corvette Z06 GT3R, and they actually remained in second in the GTD Pro Drivers Championship.

Chevrolet also maintained its lead in the manufacturer standing heading into next month's race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

And if you win the Bob Aitken Award, you automatically get an invite to Le Mans next year.

So really important that they do well here for the next couple of races that are remaining.

Now, as a result, they find themselves right in the thick of this GTD Pro Championship, which, why don't we take a look at the points now as well? Leading the way, it's the number one Paul Miller Racing BMW with 2432 points.

It is a 23-point advantage over the number four Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports Corvette.

a 56 point advantage over the number nine faf motorsports lamborghini and a tie for fourth 67 points back of the leaders for AO racing and the number 65 ford also notably in that championship fight the vassar sullivan lexus didn't have the best day out there they're about 150 points back right now it's going to take They're probably going to have to go out and win the final two races of the season for them to realistically have a chance.

We've seen them win back-to-back before, so you never know, but a tough day for Vassar.

We bring you the latest Corvette news and headlines right here on Corvette Today.

In segment two, we're going to talk about Corvette racing and Corvette rumors.

Keith, how did Corvette racing do at Road America?

So Tommy Milner and Nikki Kasperg returned to the GTD Pro podium in the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship with a third place.

the number four chevrolet corvette z06 gt3r and it has direct implications on the championship standings as for the number three corvette antonio garcia and alexander sims they had a rough going suffered contact with just two hours left put the z06 gt3r into the turn three gravel trap and damaged to the right rear and unfortunately they would finish 10th in class As far as those championship standings go, Chevrolet leads the class manufacturer's championship by 105 points with three races to go.

So with just three races remaining on the the IMSA schedule and the next race is coming up this weekend at Virginia International Raceway August 21st to 23rd so we're right there in the running for the driver's championships we're leading the manufacturer's championships and then the team points that can go either way with four teams all within 100 points of each other I think there's like 1100 points still remaining with these three races to go so anything can happen but I think we're in a really good position right now

Definitely sounds like it.

Speaking of that, JRM, who runs in Corvette Racing, was confirmed to return to Suzuka, and they were taking Scott McLaughlin, Nicky Katzberg, and Alexander Sims with them.
