Corvette Racing In High Spirits Heading Into The Glen

All three Corvette Racing teams left the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans with top-10 results, including a third-place class finish among them. There wasn’t much time to celebrate, though, as they’re already gearing up for the six-hour sprint at Watkins Glen this coming Sunday, but hot off success at Le Mans, the Corvette Z06 GT3.R racers are in high spirits for the next round of the 2025 IMSA season.

Four Corvette Racing Z06 GT3.R race cars are entered in the race at Watkins Glen. Their goal is to secure the third Vette victory in the event, and its first since the 2021 season. The middle of the race is just as important as the checkers, though. Points will be awarded based on class running position at the three-hour, or halfway, mark, along with the end of the six-hour sprint.

The No. 3 Corvette will be shared between Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims. The No. 4 Vette belongs to Tommy Milner and Nicky Catsburg. Both of these entries are fielded by Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports.

“We are getting close to our first win of the season,” said Garcia. “Watkins Glen gives us a great chance to achieve it. The nature of the track should favor us in some ways. I feel like the Corvette – no matter the version of racecar – has always been very solid and fast at tracks like Watkins Glen. It’s one of the amazing tracks in America that we look forward to every year.”

AWA, meanwhile, is fielding the No. 13 Vette Z06 GT3.R of Matt Bell, Orey Fidani, and Lars Kern, while Charlie Eastwood, Salih Yoluc, and Alec Udell will split seat time in the No. 36 Corvette fielded by DXDT Racing.

“It’s pretty exciting going into this next stretch of races,” said Fidani. “Le Mans was pretty awesome for us and a lifetime achievement and dream for me. I really, really enjoy Watkins Glen. The car was great there last year and should be super-strong this year. We want to try for a good result to get back some ground in the GTD championship and in the Endurance Cup. I’m looking forward to it.”
