Dominant weekend at Watkins Glen International for the Hilliard U.S. Vintage Grand Prix! 🏆🏁

Brought home two overall wins and a 2nd place finish across the three races in the No. 21 C5 Corvette! Big thanks to the SVRA crew, the fans on the grid, and everyone supporting the effort. There’s nothing quite like standing on the podium at iconic tracks like The Glen.

It's always great to see the passion from the fans on the grid before a race. Connecting with everyone who loves this sport and the Corvette is a big part of why I do this. This blue C5 Corvette (No. 21) was looking fast and ready for some IMSA style action!

A lot goes into these weekends beyond just the driving—there is preparation, strategy, and engineering that must come together before the green flag drops.
