MONTEREY, California (May 10, 2025) – This Sunday, Paul Miller Racing faces WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca’s 2-hour, 40-minute sprint with the youngest driver pairings on the GTD Pro grid: Madison Snow and Neil Verhagen in the No. 1 BMW M4 GT3 EVO, and Max Hesse alongside Dan Harper in the No. 48.
Both lineups arrive fresh from a double podium at March’s Twelve Hours of Sebring, ready for the challenges of the Tirerack.com Monterey SportsCar Championship.
Snow and Verhagen sit third in the GTD Pro championship standings with 628 points—just 25 back of the leader—after clinching P3 at Sebring alongside co-driver Connor De Phillippi. In Car #48, Hesse and Harper helped secure P2 (with Jesse Krohn) in Florida and now lie seventh overall on 568 points.
Laguna Seca presents a unique challenge with its 2.238-mile, 11-corner layout and low-grip surface, where small setup deviations can have noticeable effects.
The Corkscrew features a dramatic elevation change – dropping 59 feet in under 500 feet of track distance as the cars turn sharply left, then right, through a blind, downhill section.
This iconic section tests every car and driver. Paul Miller Racing is familiar with this venue, having taken victory here in 2019 and recorded second place finishes in 2014, 2015 and 2021.
As the team transitions from the endurance format at Sebring to this sprint weekend, both BMW M4 GT3 EVO entries will aim to add valuable points in GTD Pro. With two well-prepared cars and a clear focus, Paul Miller Racing will aim to build on its recent results and target another solid performance at Laguna Seca.
