Turner Motorsport’s #96 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, driven by Robby Foley and Patrick Gallagher, claimed a victorious finish at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, ending a two‑year title drought and setting the stage for a historic turbo‑charged pursuit of three North American sports‑car crown.
Indy Victory Breaks Two‑Year Drought
Foley’s eighth WeatherTech race and ninth Road Atlanta debut erased the streak of defeat that had shadowed the team for 24 months. The pair had to outpace the reigning champions, Winward’s #57, to climb within six points of the IMSA GTD title lead.
“Such a solid Indy finish put us firmly in the championship conversation,” Foley said after the event. “A few wins a season can change the narrative against dominant rivals like the #57.
“We earned a respectable haul of points and now we are right behind Russell Ward and Philip Ellis of Winward in the standings.”
GTD Championship Chase Heads to Road Atlanta
The upcoming Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta finale will contain a tightening points battle. Turner’s Foley, Gallagher, and endurance co‑driver Francis Selldorff are a mere six points behind the leaders, a margin that could little but hinge on a single position.
“It’s just about completing a clean race,” Foley added. “We’re staying on top of the field like we’ve always done, keeping the focus on what the #57 car does in qualifying.”
For Todman, the sweep of a GTD title could be his first since 2014.
Road Atlanta’s Triple‑Series Finale
While the GTD key slot fills the middle of the season, other triumphs await. Friday’s lap concludes the Michelin Pilot Challenge GS series, where Dillon Machavern and Luca Mars in the #95 Turner BMW M4 GT4 EVO occupy second place in the points column.
Turner will then travel to Indianapolis for the SRO’s Indianapolis 8‑Hour race, allowing Foley and co‑driver Justin Rothberg to hobble a Pro‑class title campaign, building on consecutive Pro‑Am victories.
Attempting a Three‑Series Sweep
Turner Motorsport has never before clinched titles in all three series in the same season, yet the team’s continuity could strike the right chord. “We’ve seen an uptick across the board thanks to the new Evo and cross‑program learning,” Foley explained.
“Our core staff changes little year to year,” he noted. “That stability, now paired with the Evo’s performance boost, makes a triple‑title conquest feasible.”
Season‑Long Consistency Fuels Historic Ambition
With duopolies hovering within points in every class, the side‑by‑side rivalry pushes a narrative of unprecedented consistency toward a potential championship trifecta.
