Frankie Muniz and Tyler Stone seal the 2026 GT4 America Am title at Indianapolis, converting a one-point lead into a decisive crown with back-to-back runner-up finishes in the finale.
The TechSport Racing No. 30 pairing closes the campaign 19 points clear of James Walker Jr. and James Clay, built on three wins and seven podiums across a tightly contested Am field.
In SRO’s Am category, two amateur drivers share 60-minute races with a mandatory pit window, making stint balance and pit execution decisive. TechSport’s clean stops consistently protected track position.
Muniz and Stone arrived at the double-header under pressure, then banked two second places to settle the fight. The finale demanded recovery from tenth on the grid.
Two runner-up finishes at Indianapolis turned a one-point lead into a 19-point title margin.
Stone managed the opening stint conservatively and handed the car over in range. Muniz’s closing run featured decisive passes on their chief title rivals to lock down the podium and championship.
The season’s backbone was consistency. TechSport swept Road America and added victory in Barber’s second race, combining clear strategy with measured risk under Balance of Performance constraints.
No. 30 TechSport Racing delivered three wins and seven podiums across the campaign.
For Muniz, this is a milestone in a long pursuit. A former actor turned racer, he shifted priorities this year, skipping NASCAR Truck outings to focus on GT4 America.
He credited Ford Racing for encouraging the move into sports cars, noting the turning point arrived mid-season as he and Stone refined pace, traffic management, and pit discipline.
“I’ve never raced sports cars before… once we figured things out mid-season, we started winning races and positioned ourselves to win the championship.” — Frankie Muniz
Stone, watching the closing laps from the pit wall, pointed to preparation and belief as constants during a season of close margins. He praised the class’s high standards and generally clean racecraft.
He also acknowledged the team’s operational growth after early setbacks, citing improved rhythm, sharper calls in the pit window, and a competitive package throughout the final stretch.
“We prayed a lot, and I truly believe that helped us reach this point.” — Tyler Stone
Within SRO’s framework—mandatory stops, fixed pit windows, and success-time considerations—TechSport maximized controllables. Avoiding penalties and executing reliably proved as valuable as outright speed.
The title cements a platform for the duo and team heading into next season. Whether defending in Am or exploring a class step remains a strategic question, but the fundamentals are in place.
