WATKINS GLEN, NY (June 28, 2026) – Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports’ No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R of Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims placed fourth in GTD PRO on Sunday at the end of a wild Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen as Chevrolet retained the Manufacturers Championship lead in the class.
Garcia and Sims started the race eighth but a combination of solid driving and good late pit strategy by the team maximized the No. 3 Corvette’s results as the driving pair moved from fourth to second in the Drivers Championship with five races to go.
The duo arrived at Watkins Glen off the back of a class victory at the previous round in Detroit, looking to continue their run of form.
Garcia qualified eighth in class as Corvette Racing seeks its third win in the Six Hours since 2014. His lap of 1:44.660 (117.340 mph) was less than a second from the class pole-winning car.
In the race, the team executed a bold strategy which saw them put on two new tires during a fuel stop. It meant that Alexander was at an advantage during his stint and was able to put in some fast laps.
Ultimately, the #3 crossed the line in fourth, gaining four places from the start of the race.
ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 3 CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: “I’m pretty confident we would have taken that before the start of the race. We obviously want to win every race, and that’s the aim, but sometimes you have to be honest with the situation. It just seemed like others had a bit more pace than us at times today and that made it quite difficult to race. So we had to try and get something done on strategy. Full credit to the team for making it happen toward the end. I don’t honestly know exactly how everything played out in terms of what other people did, but we went aggressive in putting on two new tires to coincide with the fueling time. I don’t think it held us up too much at all. So it was a really nice decision to make so that I had some advantage and to put in some fast laps. Honestly the Corvette felt nice, really well balanced and we optimized it really well. We know how powerful fourth places and better are in the championship runs. So that’s why I’m fairly pleased with today.”
