With three rounds left in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, Robby Foley and Turner Motorsport are preparing for a critical stretch run at Virginia International Raceway. Sitting in third place in the GTD class standings, Foley trails second-place Winward Racing by just two points, while 26 points separate them from championship leader Dudu Barrichello.
Foley, who boasts eight career WeatherTech starts at VIR, entered the weekend with a class victory in 2020, two podiums, and a pole position in 2021. The New Jersey native revealed that consistency has been the foundation for their championship push, and while they have not secured a win yet, they aim to turn up the wick in the final three rounds to break through.
Foley acknowledged the chaotic and tactical nature of GTD racing, stating that every lap at VIR requires pushing the car to its limits. He also recognized the strong performances of their main rivals, Winward Racing and Heart of Racing, and emphasized that the team must be aggressive in the last races to secure the title.
