Skeen Leads Every Lap At Road America

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. — Mike Skeen returned to victory lane in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series for the first time since 2022, leading every single lap at Road America on his way to capturing the checkered flag.

Polesitter Skeen’s No. 2 Guthrie’s Garage machine had dominant speed, allowing him to defend the point position through multiple restarts and pull out to tremendous gaps under green-flag conditions.

Behind him, fifth-place starter Tristan McKee (No. 28 Spire/Gainbridge/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro) quickly advanced to the front and passed second-place starter Corey Day (No. 17 HendrickCars.com/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro) on lap two, and the trio of TeamSLR-built M1 racecars defended their podium positions for the remainder of the race.

Thomas Annunziata (No. 90 Gazoo Racing/Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry), who made his first laps this weekend at Road America in the race, advanced from the 23rd spot to finish fourth, and seventh-place starter Valentin Aguirre (No. 12 Memo Corse/CAN/Elf Oil Ford Mustang) claimed his first-career top-five finish.

Skeen earned his first win since 2022. It was the 12th-career win for the 2020 CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series Champion. Skeen has one previous win at Road America, which he earned during his championship season.

Skeen started the race on the pole and led every lap until the checkered flag waved.

Skeen is the sixth unique winner in seven races this season, with fourth-place finisher Thomas Annunziata the only driver victorious in multiple races in 2025.

TeamSLR-built M1 Racecars chassis swept the podium today with Skeen, Tristan McKee and Corey Day in the national championship. The top-two finishers in the Pro/Am Challenge, Barry Boes and Jared Odrick, also represented M1 Racecars.

Annunziata, who started 23rd overall because he was competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series races at Lime Rock Park on Saturday, raced through the field to finish fourth. Annunziata was victorious in the ARCA race, earning his first-career win in the series.

Argentine driver Valentin Aguirre earned his career-best finish of fifth in today’s event.

Pro/Am Challenge winner Barry Boes earned his second victory of the season and ninth of his career.

“It was a great race for us,” said Skeen. “We were able to keep clean air on the front of this M1 racecar. I’ve got to thank the TeamSLR guys so much for giving me such a quick hot rod this weekend. It was just my job not to screw it up. We knew we had the package to win this weekend, and it’s awesome to have a sweep of the podium for the team. A big thanks to Guthrie’s
