In what turned out to be a single race due to incoming weather and F1 schedule changes, Maxson (TOPP Racing) initially crossed the line second behind JDX Racing’s Callum Hedge. However, after a wild, frantic, and contact-filled race – Hedge was one of five drivers to be awarded a 28-second penalty (equivalent of a drive-through) for “causing a collision.”
Maxson extends championship advantage.
The win for Maxson extends his championship points advantage despite the fact he was caught up in the opening Lap 1, Turn 1 melee.
Hedge survived the initial Turn 1 class, and the JDX Racing driver endured a three-wide battle with 20 minutes remaining before ultimately climbing back to the top spot.
Maxson passed fellow Porsche Motorsport North America Junior Program racer Paul Bocuse (Kellymoss) with five minutes remaining, and the latter finished second for his best-ever finish in Porsche Carrera Cup North America.
After the penalties, Jared Thomas took the final podium spot despite facing backwards at one stage at the Miami “Harbor” after contact.
Mulcahy bounces back after sitting backwards in Turn 1.
In the Solairus Aviation Pro-Am Class, Patrick Mulcahy was caught up in the Lap 1 chaos while searching for his fifth consecutive win of the season. However, the ACI Motorsports driver returned to the lead over competitor Josh Conley (Kellymoss) by the halfway mark to extend his lead in the class championship.
“I would say it was a really rough race for everybody out there,” Mulcahy described. “I’m hoping we all clean it up for tomorrow because that was kind of crazy.
“It was a lot of refocus (to fight back). I knew how to sit in the pocket and work my way down the field. There was 30 minutes left, and once the second and third yellow flags went out, it was a survival race.”
2025 Masters champ back in victory lane.
Scott Blind made significant ground in the Solairus Aviation Masters class championship with a win on Saturday at the Miami street circuit.
Blind finished tenth overall with his Ruckus Racing Porsche, marking his first win of the 2026 Porsche Carrera Cup North America season.
“It really feels good to get a win this year,” said Blind. “It was crazy out there. It was like ‘Survivor,’ but the Race Edition.
Similar to Mulcahy, Blind was also mixed in with the opening lap mayhem.
“Everything was happening so fast,” Blind added. “I’ll go back to the video, and only half of the time I’m right! We’ll have to go look at it, and it was chaos in front of me.”
Blind entered the event third in the class standings behind leader Marco Cirone (ACI Motorsports). Cirone ran second on Saturday before contact and a spin took him out of contention with 15 minutes remaining. As a result, Miami native Kevin Stadtlander (JDX Racing) and series debutante Matt Smith (ACI Motorsports) finished second and third, respectively.
