Cadillac's No. 31 Just Made It Two Straight GTP Wins at Watkins Glen
Jack Aitken, Earl Bamber, and Frederik Vesti led 143 of 182 laps from the pole to win the Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen — the Whelen Engineering Cadillac's eighth consecutive GTP podium.
The No. 31 Whelen Engineering Racing Cadillac V-Series.R won the Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen on June 28, taking the GTP class from the pole and leading 143 of the race's 182 laps at Watkins Glen International. It's the second consecutive win of the season for the Action Express-run entry, driven by Jack Aitken, Earl Bamber, and Frederik Vesti, and the team's eighth straight GTP podium finish — a run of consistency that's now stretched across essentially the whole first half of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.
Behind them, the No. 93 Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb-Agajanian Acura ARX-06 of Nick Yelloly, Renger van der Zande, and Tom Ohta held on for second, with the No. 5 JDC-Miller MotorSports Porsche 963 of Laurin Heinrich, Rene Rast, and Mikkel Jensen completing the GTP podium in third.
Two straight wins from pole, backed by an eight-podium streak, has put Aitken and the No. 31 car in command of the GTP title picture heading into the second half of the season — the kind of position that turns the rest of the year's races into a margin-management exercise as much as a fight for more wins.
