Polesitter Roberto Tutino partnered with veteran driver Daniel Morad for the 100-minute enduro and started their Porsche 911 GT3 Cup #260 JDX Racing 992 Pro-Am entry from pole position.
JDX Racing led at the start, and most importantly at the end, of the first Porsche Endurance Challenge North America by Yokohama race of 2026, but the team had to work mid‑race to secure its win at Sebring International Raceway.

Polesitter Roberto Tutino partnered with veteran driver Daniel Morad for the 100‑minute enduro, starting their #260 JDX Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup in the 992 Pro‑Am class from pole position.
Morad’s late charge sparks overall win as Dusek–Hayes rally CHR to Am victory.
Tutino was shuffled outside the top-three early and when Morad hopped behind the wheel, the Canadian slashed a 10-second gap to capture the lead in the closing laps of the race in spectacular fashion.
Morad’s move came on former Champ Car and Porsche Carrera Cup North America driver Dan Clarke, who held on for second place alongside co-driver Blake McGovern. Chris Hutter and former Porsche Sprint Challenge North America graduate Jared Thomas completed the Pro-Am podium in third.
In the 992 Am category, Matt Dusek and Charlie Hayes had a rollercoaster day but emerged on top with CHR, just months after the team finished second in the 2025 Endurance Challenge championship standings.
Dusek held a strong lead early in Sunday’s contest, but clashed with a Pro-Am car before the driver change. Hayes inherited the slightly damaged #251 911 GT3 Cup, but went on for the win.
Charles Espenlaub made a pass on Tyler Hoffman in the final quarter hour of the race to finish second with Henry Marshall. Hoffman and Michael Cobb finished third.
Peluchiwski–Davis control Cayman Pro-Am while Tartaglione’s comeback delivers Am triumph.
After an up-and-down weekend in Sprint Challenge North America, William Peluchiwski ended his Sebring trip on top in the Cayman Pro-Am class.
After starting third, Peluchiwski kept his #62 Kellymoss Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport clean for co-driver and coach Andrew Davis. Following the mandatory pit stop, Davis cycled into the class lead and never relinquished the position.
Dan Drohan tallied another podium finish at Sebring after winning the opening Sprint Challenge race on Friday on his debut and finishing second in the Cayman Pro-Am on Sunday with Taylor Van Overbeek.
The father–daughter duo of Greg and Anna Cecchi followed in third after also finding success earlier in the Sprint Challenge weekend. Both competed in the Cayman races, with the younger Cecchi sweeping her Pro-Am class and Greg finishing on the Masters podium on Friday, capping of a
There was another comeback story to be found deeper in the field to conclude Sunday’s enduro. Heinlein Racing Development proved to be the team to beat with drivers Todd Ruttura and Reginald Tartaglione, but a penalty during the pit stop dropped closing driver Tartaglione behind fellow Cayman competitor Justin Lewis.
However, in his #59 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport, Tartaglione chased down Lewis to regain the lead and eventual win in the final 10 minutes of the race.
