The Toyota Gazoo Racing North America (TGRNA) GR Cup Series makes the trek to Birmingham, Alabama for the first time as Barber Motorsports Park awaits. The 2.38-mile, 17-turn road course will serve as unfamiliar territory to a number of competitors, setting the stage for a weekend of thrilling action.

With just four races remaining in the 2024 season, Copeland Motorsports driver Gresham Wagner continues to lead the driver standings with 204 points. Wagner’s teammate Westin Workman (163) holds the second spot in the standings, edging out TechSport Racing’s Spike Kohlbecker (154) by just nine points. Jaxon Bell (131) and Lucas Weisenberg (85) round out the top five.

Drivers will get a feel for Barber Motorsports Park on Friday with two 30-minute practice sessions before setting the lineup for Race 1 early Saturday morning with a 15-minute qualifying session. The 45-minute race will begin at 1:55 PM CT on Saturday. Drivers and teams will have the night to reset before Race 2 qualifying on Sunday morning and racing action at 12:05 PM CT.

Both races are streamed live on grcup.com and the GT World YouTube page. Fans can also catch all the racing action by joining Ash Vandelay on Twitch by following the SRO Motorsports channel.
