Westin Workman and Tyler Gonzlaez claimed a sweep of the weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway but it still wasn’t enough to overcome the RS1 duo of Spencer Pumpelly and Luca Mars, who won the Pirelli GT4 America Silver class title while in the pits.

Workman took his No. 68 RAFA Racing Team Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2 to a 4.389-second win over the No. 7 ACI Motorsports Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport of Yves Baltas in Sunday’s 60-minute season finale.

Workman and Gonzalez, who trailed the RS1 pairing by 18 points were in a must-win scenario to take the championship, and initially appeared possible when Mars sustained left-front wheel damage in an opening lap incident triggered by the sister RAFA Toyota of Werner Neugebauer, who was served with a drive-through penalty for incident responsibility.

However, two other Silver class cars, the No. 130 Advance Motorsports McLaren Artura GT4 of Parker DeLong and Bruno Colombo’s No. 98 Random Vandals Racing BMW M4 GT4 EVO, were also collected and retired in the pits alongside Mars’ Porsche, who was crucially had its pit box further up pit road.

With the No. 007 CSM Aston Martin Vantage GT4 Evo invisible on points due to being a single-race entry, Pumpelly and Mars’ seventh place class finish, which turned into sixth place points, was enough for the RS1 drivers to win the title by a single point over Workman and Gonzalez.

Pro-Am class honors in the race went to the No. 39 Dome Motorsport Mercedes-AMG GT4 of Allen Patten and Marc Miller, following Patten’s late-race pass on the No. 47 Nolasport Porsche of Matt Travis.

It came after the No. 33 Blackdog Racing McLaren of Michael Cooper, who led the race overall in his opening stint, was assessed two separate five-second penalties, for cutting the track and incident responsibility, that dropped the car to a third place class result.

Random Vandals Racing’s Sam Craven clinched the Pro-Am title on Saturday but on Saturday evening “renounced” his four points earned during the Road America weekend to share the championship with season-long co-driver Kenton Koch, who missed the Wisconsin event due to the birth of his first child.

This was possible due to a stipulation in the GT4 America sporting regulations, first introduced in 2025, that allows, per the approval of the sporting board, for a driver to give away points from one round for reasons of force majeure.

Muniz, Stone Claim Am Class Championship in TechSport Ford Mustang GT4

While Dome’s Laura Hayes claimed class victory, driving as a solo driver on Sunday, a second place class finish for the No. 30 TechSport Racing Ford Mustang GT4 was enough for Frankie Muniz and Tyler Stone to claim the Am title.

It came in a come-from-behind drive for Muniz, who carved his way through the field, first passing title rival James Walker Jr. for third with 17 minutes to go before getting around Anthony Geraci for second five minutes later.

Walker Jr. faded to a sixth place class finish, which was more than enough for Muniz and Stone to take the title, which was also aided by a drive-through penalty for the No. 21 ACI Motorsports BMW of Alex Garcia for incident responsibility.

It marked both drivers’ first championship titles and capped off a memorable season for former Hollywood star Muniz, in his first season of sports car racing competition with Ford Racing.
