Big News: We finished the 2024 GT4 America season in second place for the Silver Class Championship10/26/2024 Recap: GT4 America at Indianapolis Motor Speedway
We headed into the final round of the GT4 America season at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway with our sights set on the Silver Class Championship. The first race proved to be a challenging one, as the cold weather conditions put the BMWs at a disadvantage. Despite the circumstances, we made the most of it, emerging as the fastest BMW on track and keeping our championship rivals within striking distance throughout the race. We're excited to share an update from our GT4 America weekend at Barber Motorsports Park! The Random Vandals Racing team put in an incredible performance, securing a second-place finish in Race 1 and a dominant victory in Race 2.
Most importantly, our results have significantly closed the gap in the Silver class championship. We've narrowed the points difference to just 5 points, which means the title race is still wide open heading into the final event at Indy Motor Speedway. With two more races to go, we're determined to give it our all and bring home the championship. Thrilled to announce we took first place 🥇 in the inaugural Pirelli GT4 America three-hour endurance race at Circuit of The Americas (COTA) on May 18th. This win, along with double championship points, puts us in a strong position heading into the Virginia International Raceway (VIR) event (July 19th-21st).

Driver Quotes Kevin Boehm, No. 92 CrowdStrike BMW M4 GT4: “With CrowdStrike Racing taking a step into GT4 America, I knew there were going to be a lot of challenges this year. I went into it with open eyes and knowing I was going to need to learn a lot. I looked for every opportunity that I could all year. When I look back, I realize that we accomplished a lot. There were lots of times where we always wished there was a little more luck, but even with what we accomplished we can be proud as a team. It’s been a complete pleasure to learn from Kenton and the Random Vandals guys. It’s been an incredible year. As we look into the future, I think I have a lot more experience to build on and it’s only up from here.” Kenton Koch, No. 92 CrowdStrike BMW M4 GT4: “It’s been awesome to be with Kevin this year. He’s brought a lot of things to the table that has made this program better and better. It’s nice to work with someone like that. He’s also gotten better as a driver in a GT4 car, and this weekend was the best he’s been all year. It’s cool to fly the CrowdStrike logo on the side of this BMW and I’m very fortunate to be part of it. I hope it’s not the last time because it’s been great driving with Kevin this year.” Read more about the CrowdStrike Racing Team's season finale.
