Cadillac formally opens prep for IMSA ’26

Three GTP teams incorporate aero updates at Daytona test; look back at ’25 season

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (November 15, 2025) – Seventeen hours of available track over two days with an updated racecar is akin to opening a gift box on Christmas Day for Cadillac Racing drivers.

The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship-sanctioned test this weekend at Daytona International Speedway formally opened preparations for the quickly approaching season while closing out the 2025 campaign that began 11 months earlier at the same venue.

Cadillac Racing’s three-car Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) lineup featured a 10-driver roster that included Cadillac Formula 1Ⓡ Team test driver Colton Herta and 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series rookie of the year Connor Zilisch, who will contest the full 2026 NASCAR Cup Series in the No. 88 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 with Trackhouse Racing.

Data acquisition trumped lap times as the primary objective as the Nos. 10 and 40 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R and No. 31 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R ran through prescribed plans of collecting initial feedback from 2026 aerodynamic updates and turning laps on Michelin’s new Pilot Sport Endurance tire without incident or mechanical issue.

The three GTP entries totaled 967 laps in five day/night sessions on the 3.56-mile, 12-turn road course that incorporates sections of the high-banked oval.

Cadillac joined other manufacturers in aligning timing of EVO use with the updated 2026 aerodynamic homologation. 

While the V-Series.R retains signature V-Series production design elements, notable changes include removal of front dive planes and winglets and reshaping the rear wing profile.

“The initial thoughts are good. It still feels like a Cadillac, which is good because we had a good car this year,” said Frederik Vesti, Action Express Racing endurance driver in the No. 31 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R. “The focus is getting drivers into the rhythm again at this track and fine-tuning the setup ahead of the Rolex 24.”

Highlights of the past season and a look ahead to the upcoming nine-race GTP calendar that kicks off January 24-25 with the 64th Rolex 24 At Daytona:

Milestones

  • 100th Cadillac Racing prototype podium (June at Detroit by No. 10 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R … 99 IMSA, 1 WEC
  • 100th Cadillac Racing IMSA prototype podium (June at Watkins Glen by No. 40 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R)
  • 100th podium for Action Express Racing in IMSA (September at Indianapolis by No. 31 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R)
  • IMSA victory was the first for Cadillac (in any series) at Indianapolis Motor Speedway
  • 50th race (IMSA/WEC) for the Cadillac V-Series.R at WEC finale at Bahrain

Other notables

  • The No. 31 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R won the final two races of the season
  • Cadillac has 33 IMSA prototype victories since 2017, the most of any manufacturer in class
  • No. 31 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R led the most laps (695) of GTP entries across the nine IMSA races and led 313 more laps than the class title-winning entry
  • Cadillac Racing has recorded at least two victories in each IMSA season since 2017
  • Cadillac Racing has recorded at least one pole start in each IMSA season since 2017
  • Action Express Racing marked 14 consecutive years aligned with GM
  • Wayne Taylor Racing returned to the Cadillac fold after a four-year absence. It previously was aligned with the brand – and Corvette – in IMSA prototype racing from 2017-2020 and Wayne Taylor joined GM as a driver in 1990
  • For 2026 IMSA season, Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque return for the sixth season as teammates, driving the No. 10 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R

“Looking back on the 2025 IMSA season, I couldn’t be prouder of what our Cadillac Racing teams accomplished,” Cadillac Racing program manager Keely Bosn said. “Cadillac’s multi-year partnership with Whelen. Engineering and Action Express Racing continues to be something special; a relationship built on trust, determination, and a shared drive to win. Seeing the team deliver multiple victories this season, including Cadillac’s second consecutive Petit Le Mans win, was incredibly rewarding. It’s a testament to the team’s relentless effort and belief in what Cadillac Racing stands for.

“This season also marked our first year partnering with Wayne Taylor Racing in the GTP era. Watching the team learn the Cadillac V-Series.R, find their rhythm, finish on the podium twice including at our home race in Detroit, and represent Cadillac with such pride has been inspiring.

“We were also thrilled to bring four cars to the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year. The opportunity to campaign entries from Action Express and Wayne Taylor Racing alongside their WEC teammates, Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA, was a landmark moment for Cadillac Racing. Running shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world at the event is what fuels our passion to keep improving.

“As we close the book on 2025, I’m more excited than ever for what’s ahead. We’ve learned so much this season, and our engineers have been hard at work on some exciting technical developments that will debut next season. Cadillac Racing has never been stronger, and I can’t wait for the green flag to drop at Daytona in January.”

What they’re saying from the test

No. 10 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R

Filipe Albuquerque: “There are many new things on the car, and it’s nice to drive again and prepare for 2026. We are going through the checklist and preparing the car. We are not looking so much into the performance, really what works and what needs attention with the aero package, especially because we drive in the hot conditions in the afternoon and we’ll be driving at night. It’s good to be back.”

Ricky Taylor: “It’s really exciting to be back in Daytona. This test historically has been where everybody debuts their new cars and we haven’t had that for a couple years. So, it was exciting this year to see everybody’s EVO updates and get to try our own ones. Good to get laps under our belt and the work beforehand proved very beneficial and very accurate, so we knew what we had coming into it, hit the ground running and I don’t think we missed a beat. It was just picking up where we left off with some room to improve. Congratulations to Cadillac.”

Will Stevens: “It’s been a positive couple of days here at Daytona exploring and ticking off items in a variety of conditions, which is what we’re trying to achieve in this test. I think the early days are positive. It’s tough to draw conclusions, but nothing seems scary. There are no bad feelings from the aero updates. Encouraging and keep working away on the things we need to improve with the car and us as a team. I think it’s easy to forget from our side in the team that it was the first year in the car and there was a lot of learning that we had to go through. I think even though it’s been a short break, having a break to assess everything that has gone on and things we need to improve on, which I think we all understand what those are and these days have been a solid start. I think we’ll only get better. That’s why these days are critical.”

No. 31 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R

Jack Aitken: “We’ve had a smooth rollout with the EVO package and it’s gone pretty much as expected, which is a surprise. We’ve picked up from last year; we’ve always had a pretty strong car at Daytona and the characteristics are pretty much the same. It’s just a few small tweaks here and there. We’re still learning a few intricate details about the package. We’re broadly there, which is nice.”

Earl Bamber: “We have great momentum from 2025, winning two of the last big races, Jack finishing second in the championship with the 31 car. So, we’re really looking forward to 2026. We’re looking for the big one – Daytona. It’s been a few years since Cadillac has won it and were hoping this preparation is going to be key to our success come January.”

Frederik Vesti: “It’s great to be back with the team and here in Daytona preparing for next year, which is coming up quickly. We have the new aero kit, which everyone has been working so hard to bring to the car so than you for that. Now it’s about learning and understanding this new car. The initial thoughts are good. It still feels like a Cadillac, which is good because we had a good car this year. The focus is getting drivers into the rhythm again at this track and fine-tuning the setup ahead of the Rolex 24. Positive start.”

Connor Zilisch (81 laps): “It was awesome. Very different, but at the same time similar to things I’ve driven in the past. It’s kind of a mixture between the LMP2 car and the Corvette GT3 that I drove this year. A little heavier than the P2. More power, really cool. A lot of new controls and things that I have to learn, and it was a lot of fun getting to feel it out and just run a lot of laps. (worth the wait?) “Yeah. I mean, I wish I could have been in Bahrain, but obviously it didn’t work out how we wanted it to, but this this is still a perfect place to get my first laps in the car. Daytona is a relatively simple track when it comes to all the tracks that there are in the world. This one’s one of the easier ones.”

No. 40 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R

Jordan Taylor: “I think Cadillac did a great job with all the updates. With the aero EVO updates, it was just like getting back in a Cadillac. Everything was good, it felt normal and nothing was unexpected. I think all three drivers have been happy in our car and it was just back to business running our plan, doing what we needed to do this week and look at data to come to the Rolex well prepared. It’s in a good window.”

Louis Deletraz: “It’s good to be back on track and to test all the EVOs that Cadillac has been working on – a lot of hard work on their part – and it’s good to get the car out on the racetrack. The feeling was straightaway nice, easy to drive. I think it has consistency, which is a goal. We’ll keep learning. The more laps we can do, the more things we can try with this new aero mix. I’m grateful that we got it out on time and for the hard work of everyone. It is a new car with the goal of improving everything we could and so far the target has been achieved, I would say. I’ve had a lot of fun driving it and working with all the engineers at GM and Cadillac and WTR. And it’s exciting just a few months ahead of the Rolex 24.”

Colton Herta (119 laps): “2026 is going to be a big year for me. It’s going to be a lot of fun on the F1 side, on the IMSA side. Obviously, the goal stays the same and that is to win. We’ll be going full steam ahead for that. And will also be nice to come home since we’ll be spending so much time in Europe that it will be nice to come back to America and race cars here. It’s good to be back here with Wayne Taylor and new for me with the Cadillac. It’s exciting to be back here and it’s a fun car to drive and it sounds on the inside just as good on the inside as it does from the outside. These cars and this race are so much fun. Sports car racing is so different from all the racing I do, so I treasure my time here and feel fortunate to be able to do this again. There is still a lot for me to learn about the Cadillac, but I think it’s a good start. It’s great to have so many major manufacturers in a series like this and exciting to race against so many cars with different engine makes and models.”

Brody Roa Closes Out His 2025 Season With Another Top-10 Finish

Cypress, CA – November 13, 2025 — Garden Grove, California’s Brody Roa wrapped up his 2025 campaign with a gritty seventh-place finish in the Avanti Windows and Doors USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series finale last Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway. The result capped a remarkably consistent season, giving the fan favorite 12 top-10 finishes in 14 starts.

Roa entered the night after qualifying fifth in the previous two races. This time, however, he drew a late pill for time trials. By the time he hit the track, most of the early fast laps were fading. Even so, his 16.838 was solid—but it shook out to just 13th-quick overall.

A strong second-place finish in his heat showed that Roa and the #91R were gearing up to make noise in the 30-lap season finale.

In front of one of the biggest crowds of the year at the famed Riverside County half-mile, Roa was forced to roll off on the inside of row seven. Not ideal for any driver—but a bonus for fans who love watching the 34-year-old charge through the pack. And charge he did.

When the toughest field of the season came to the green at the track that opened in 1996, fans had no idea they were about to witness an open-wheel slugfest—with Roa right in the heart of it. The 2023 USAC/CRA champion wasted no time slicing forward. By halfway he was entrenched in the top 10, and he kept climbing until the checkered flag. Roa passed six cars in the 30-lapper—only two drivers passed more.

Even with most of his racing concentrated at Perris and only three out-of-town trips, Roa’s strong finale lifted him to 10th in the final 2025 USAC/CRA standings. His average finish across 13 USAC/CRA features and one USCS event was an impressive 6.57. He also bagged five USAC/CRA heat-race wins—topped only by two full-time series regulars.

Roa is now exploring a possible return to January’s Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which would be his first appearance in the prestigious race since 2022. Stay tuned for updates.

You can listen to an interview Roa did when he joined Dave Stall’s Racer Radio Show for an interview the day after his October 18th win:

(Roa’s segment begins around the 25-minute mark).

Roa would like to thank his 2025 sponsors, “Biker” Bruce Fischer, Burris Racing, ALR Virtual Services, Caltrol, Champion Race Fuel, Molecule, and Wilwood Disc Brakes.  If you would like to be a marketing partner with the team in 2026, contact Roa using the information at the top of this release.

What Are the Best Strategies to Win at Baccarat?

Baccarat is a casino game loved by millions globally. It is a game full of excitement and easy to play. Most people enjoy it because it is fast-paced and suspenseful. Baccarat is not only about luck but mainly about strategy that enables you to win more. The following tips can help you win more effectively.

Tip 1: Understand the Basics First

It is important to understand the game before learning strategies. Once you understand this game thoroughly, you can move on to the next step and play smartly. Baccarat has three main bets: player, banker, and tie. And the goal is simple: you bet on which hand comes the closest to the number nine.

  • The player and banker get cards.
  • You have to place a bet.
  • Cards from 2-9 have value.
  • Aces are counted as 1, and face cards or 10s cards are counted as 0.

Tip 2: Always Try to Bet on the Banker

The Banker Bet has the lowest house edge, around 1.06%, and is better than the Player Bet. This means that the Banker wins a bit more. Players can also switch between bets, but Banker Bets can consistently give you better odds. Most casinos take a commission, as low as 5% on Banker wins. This strategy is a smart and safe option, but not always.

Tip 3: Try to Avoid the Tie Bet

The Tie Bet is very tempting since it pays 8:1 and 9:1, but this type of big payout can sometimes fool the players. The odds of Tie Bets are very low. The house edge in this bet is around 14%, and it is unusually high. Stick to Player or Banker Bets if you want to win more often.

Tip 4: Manage the Bankroll

The most important strategy in baccarat is money management. Before you start playing, decide how much money you can afford to lose and never cross this limit. Players must know when to stop. This can be done by following the additional tips:

  • Never chase lost money.
  • Don’t double your bets after losing.
  • Walk away if you have reached your loss limit or if you have won more than you thought.
  • Set a budget. 

Tip 5: Keep It Straightforward

Most players follow two betting systems: Paroli or Martingale. These two tactics tell you when to increase or decrease your bets. Before using these methods, always remember that baccarat is a game of chance so no system can guarantee a win. Ignore the emotions and rely on logic. It is also recommended to play short sessions, as luck can change quickly in this game. If you want to win more, play a few rounds, take your winnings, and walk away. This will allow you to keep the game enjoyable and protect your profits.

Tip 6: Choose an Accredited Platform

Opt for a trusted baccarat site that offers fair odds and safe gameplay. The platform must provide transparency. This option is for players who play baccarat online. Since the internet is loaded with options, look for the platform that offers the following:

  • Secure transaction systems.
  • Real user reviews.
  • Clear payment policies and rules.
  • Fair play certifications and proper licenses.

Final Thoughts

Baccarat is a beautiful fusion of excitement, strategy, and luck. You can control your choices, but you cannot control the cards. This does not mean you cannot win more; you can do so by staying calm, managing your money, and betting smartly. Doing this, you can make the most of every game. Baccarat must be fun: enjoy the thrill, play safe, and play smart.

Civil wedding ceremony in Los Angeles: beautiful, official, and simple

Time passes, and everything changes. If once upon a time a wedding was a mandatory attribute of the beginning of an official relationship, today many people do not bother and come to the conclusion that the most important thing in this matter is simply to have their union as a couple recognized by the state, avoiding all the complications and stress associated with organizing a full-fledged wedding with all the difficulties that arise in the process of preparing for this event. Just think about inviting guests, choosing music, decorations, a venue for the wedding reception, and much more.

Why complicate your life when all you need is a marriage certificate? That’s why civil marriage ceremonies were invented: a procedure that allows you to officially register your marriage and avoid all the unnecessary hassle, as it seems to the couple who chose this option.

Civil marriage ceremony in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a very active and dynamic city, home to people with their own views on many things, including marriage. While some prefer a traditional approach with a full-fledged wedding, inviting guests and a pompous marriage ceremony, others do not bother with these complications. All they need to do is have their marriage recognized by the state by using the civil wedding ceremony service in Los Angeles at the Lucky Wedding Day wedding chapel, a place where they will make sure that even such a formal procedure has its own atmosphere and is remembered as a pleasant event that will remain in your memory for many years to come.

The ceremony takes place in a comfortable atmosphere, where the officiant officially confirms your union and recites the traditional words, giving the newlyweds the opportunity to exchange vows and rings. The couple can decide in advance whether any guests or relatives will be present, or choose a format where they remain alone, except for the host. If necessary, Lucky Wedding Day Chapel can arrange for photography and videography, decorations, and musical accompaniment.

A civil wedding ceremony in Los Angeles is suitable for anyone who simply wants to register their marriage in another country without a large-scale organization, but still wants to hold a symbolic event in a beautiful location in the United States. Los Angeles is an excellent choice, as it has many pleasant and atmospheric locations. The city creates a sense of celebration and freedom, and the Lucky Wedding Day Chapel will complement this with a warm, attentive attitude towards each couple.

Justin Allgaier, JR Motorsports reveal second consecutive Daytona 500 bid in 2026

JR Motorsports (JRM) took to social media to reveal the organization’s plans to bid for a second consecutive starting spot for the Daytona 500 in 2026.

JRM, a four-time NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series championship-winning organization based in Mooresville, North Carolina, will field the No. 40 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 stock car throughout Daytona Speedweeks in February 2026. 

Justin Allgaier, the 2024 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series champion from Riverton, Illinois, will pilot the entry. Iraveller Whiskey, a whiskey brand created by 11-time Grammy Award-winning artist and country singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton, will sponsor the car. The 2026 season will mark a second consecutive time where both Allgaier and Traveller Whiskey will join forces with JRM’s NASCAR Cup Series effort for the Daytona 500.

The announcement comes nine months after JRM made its inaugural presence in the NASCAR Cup Series during the 67th edition of the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway. Allgaier, who earned a transfer berth to the 500 by finishing in ninth place during the first of two Daytona Duel qualifying races, proceeded to finish in ninth place during the main event. Allgaier’s result occurred after he dodged a series of late-race carnages, including one on the final lap.

Should Allgaier earn a starting spot for the 2026 Daytona 500, it will mark his fourth career start in the event and his 84th start in the Cup Series division. Through 83 previous starts, Allgaier has accumulated two top-10 results, 17 laps led and an average-finishing result of 27.2, with his best result being an eighth-place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway in April 2015. Should Allgaier win the 500, he would become the 10th competitor to achieve a first Cup career victory in the event.

JRM achieved victories in 17 of the 33-race schedule in the 2025 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series division among six competitors. Three of the wins were recorded by Allgaier. The organization also achieved its 100th career victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July with Connor Zilisch. Allgaier, along with Connor Zilisch and Carson Kvapil represented JRM in the Championship 4 round at Phoenix Raceway earlier in November, but the trio fell short of the championship to Richard Childress Racing’s Jesse Love.  

Through a combined 2,020 starts in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, JRM has accumulated 105 victories, 48 poles, 592 top-five results, 1,129 top-10 results 16,800 laps led. The organization will field four full-time entries (No. 1 for Carson Kvapil & Connor Zilisch, No. 7 for Justin Allgaier, No. 8 for Sammy Smith & No. 88 for Rajah Caruth & TBA drivers) and one part-time entry (No. 9 for Ross Chastain and Shane van Gisbergen) while pursuing more victories and a fifth championship in 2026.

The 2026 Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway is scheduled for February 15, with coverage beginning at 2:30 p.m. ET on FOX.

Eli Tomac’s highly discussed move to KTM will be under the spotlight as he makes his first competitive appearance on his new bike. BC Place is a familiar venue for Tomac, who took victory here in 2024, and his performance in Vancouver will offer the first clear indication of how quickly he has adapted to the KTM team.

Tomac will line up against a strong SX1 field that includes Ken Roczen Jason Anderson and Christian Craig, who all showed solid form in Argentina. Wildcard rider Justin Cooper also returns for what his final Wildcard appearance of the season, providing another benchmark in an already competitive class.

In SX2, Max Anstie arrives in Canada with maximum points after a dominant showing in Buenos Aires. However, his rivals are expected to respond, with riders such as Shane McElrath and Enzo Lopes looking to close the gap and build momentum.

The Canadian GP also features home representation, with Cole Thompson and Noah Viney competing in front of local fans. Thompson heads into his home race in 4th place in the championship with 32 points, while Viney enters the round in 14th with 7.

Technical interest will again focus on the Stark electric bike, which faced challenges and scrutiny during the opening round. The team enters Vancouver aiming for a more consistent outing as it continues to refine setup and performance.

With championship positions still wide open, Round 2 provides an early opportunity for riders and teams to establish direction heading into the middle phase of the championship.

Cult-Favorite Pickle Company to Back Todd Gilliland and Noah Gragson in Multiple Cup Series Races

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (November 14, 2025) – After an exciting 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season with Todd Gilliland and the No. 34 team, Grillo’s Pickles has announced an extension to their partnership with Front Row Motorsports to span across both Gilliland’s and Noah Gragson’s Ford Mustang Dark Horses for the 2026 Cup Series season.

Partnering with Front Row Motorsports in 2024, the Boston-based company has become one of the most recognizable names in NASCAR, thanks to its fan-favorite green and white “Pickle Car” and unique collaborations, including their project with New York City graffiti artist Snoeman at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

“Todd and the FRM team match our passion for shaking things up,” said Mark Luker, Chief Marketing Officer at Grillo’s Pickles. “Our goal is always to bring some unexpected fun to race day. Seeing the fans lean into the brand has been incredible, and we’re excited to continue to grow our partnership with Todd and Marissa, both on and off the track.”

Grillo’s will join Gilliland and the No. 34 team in four Cup Series races starting at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in February. The Pickle Car will return for the Coca – Cola 600 in May and in NASCAR’s inaugural San Diego Street Race at Naval Base Coronado in June. Grillo’s Pickles’ final primary race with Gilliland will come in August at the Daytona International Speedway. Grillo’s Pickles will also be a season-long associate partner of Gilliland and the No. 34 team in 2026.

“It’s without a doubt that Grillo’s Pickles has one of the most recognizable paint schemes on the track—the fans absolutely love it,” said Todd Gilliland. “They’ve brought a ton of energy to our race program and some incredible creativity with their paint schemes, especially the Snoeman and Hot Pickle cars. Our partnership has really grown into a friendship, and that’s something special to me. Grillo’s Pickles has made its mark within the NASCAR community, and I’m proud to have contributed to that and continue to be a part of it.”

“It’s been incredible to see the support Grillo’s Pickles has shown Todd,” said Marissa Gilliland, Todd’s wife. “I have really enjoyed playing a role in the partnership, as well, and look forward to continuing to do so next season.”

In addition to their primary races with Gilliland and the No. 34 team, Grillo’s Pickles will join Noah Gragson and the No. 4 team at the Talladega Superspeedway in April of 2026.

DETROIT – Chevrolet will hit the track for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season sporting an updated design of its Camaro ZL1 racecar, with its competition debut set to come in February at the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray.

The latest edition Camaro ZL1 racecar will feature upgraded styling that is aligned with Chevrolet’s recently released Camaro ZL1 Carbon Performance Package accessories kit for owners to optimize the performance capabilities of the sixth-generation Camaro ZL1 production car. Chevrolet collaborated with NASCAR and its teams on this update.

The most prominent racecar changes are a larger hood power dome, a revised front grille, and more pronounced rocker panels along the sides of the car. These mirror the new Carbon Performance Package’s carbon-fiber hood insert and rockers, plus ZL1 1LE-spec front grille and splitter.

Dating back to 1955, Chevrolet has competed with 14 different nameplates in the NASCAR Cup Series – recording 881 all-time victories, 34 Driver Championships, and 44 Manufacturer Championships, including the past five Manufacturer titles, to earn the title as the winningest manufacturer in the series’ history.
