Harper and Snow qualify nose-to-tail in GTD PRO top five at Road America

ELKHART LAKE, Wisconsin (August 3, 2025) – Paul Miller Racing delivered a tightly matched qualifying performance at Road America, with Dan Harper and Madison Snow lining up P4 and P5 in GTD PRO – just 0.034 seconds apart – setting the stage for a strong push in today’s Motul SportsCar Grand Prix.

Dan Harper clocked a 2:04.610 on his third lap in the No. 48 BMW M4 GT3, while Madison Snow followed closely with a 2:04.644 in the No. 1 BMW on lap six. Dan Harper secured a spot on the second row, while Madison Snow starts in the third row for one of the most anticipated races on the IMSA calendar.

“We’re very happy with the outcome of today’s qualifying,” said Team Principal Mitchell Simmons. “Both cars delivered strong laps, and considering the current BoP challenges, we maximized our potential.

“The cars ahead are operating in a different performance window, but we’re right there if anything opens up. Either way, we’re in a solid position to fight hard and collect valuable championship points.”

The result capped off a productive turnaround following a challenging practice phase earlier in the weekend.

“Definitely a good step forward,” Harper said. “We’ve been chasing the setup a bit in practice, but the team made great progress heading into qualifying. P4 is a strong result under the circumstances – best of the rest, I’d say. With both cars right up there, we’re in good shape heading into the race.”

Snow added: “We had a really solid qualifying session. The car felt great after the changes from practice, and the progress we made gives me confidence for the race. The front-runners are quick, but this team is always strong on strategy and tends to give us a better car for the race than qualifying. I’m excited for what we can do tomorrow.”

Snow and the No. 1 crew will be looking to build on a strong record at Road America, where they finished second last year and claimed the GTD class win in 2023 – proof that this team knows how to race at the front when it counts.

Both Paul Miller Racing cars showed strong pace throughout qualifying. While the gap to the leading cars remains considerable, the team is confident and ready to push hard in the race.

Meanwhile, the paddock is alive with excitement as a massive crowd of fans gathers for the event. Paul Miller Racing enters race day with focused determination and high hopes to seize any opportunities.
