The final race of the season for the GT America Powered by AWS drivers saw an early start after yesterday’s action-packed race that saw points leader Jason Daskalos lose ground. Starting Race 2 with a 6-point lead over Johnny O’Connell, Daskalos was in the lead, closely followed by young contender Justin Rothberg, who had clinched the previous night’s title. In a nail-biting finish, Rothberg crossed the line first, but O’Connell snatched the SRO3 class championship by a single point. In the GT4 class, Isaac Sherman wrapped up a stellar 2024 season with consecutive victories.
The SRO3 race began dramatically as Daskalos faced pressure from Kyle Washington at the start, leading to an incident with James Sofronas that set Daskalos back in the field. O’Connell seized the opportunity to secure his position and ultimately the championship, facing challenges from Mirco Shultis but holding his ground. Rothberg’s dominant performance earned him the race win, with O’Connell claiming the overall SRO3 class championship title.
Rothberg commended O’Connell as a formidable opponent, acknowledging the experience and skill the champion brings to the track. O’Connell thanked his team at SKI Motorsports for their hard work and dedication, expressing gratitude for the support and looking ahead to future competitions. With the season wrapped up, the focus now shifts to the next challenges and opportunities for the drivers and teams in the competitive GT America series.
