As the TC America powered by Skip Barber Racing School championship heads into the second half of the season, fans can expect more fierce battles and breakout performances. With the introduction of a revamped format in 2025, and the all-new Hyundai N Trophy Cup, competitors have more to fight for than ever before.
TC America Championship
Jeff Ricca has firmly established himself as the driver to beat in the TC America championship, holding the points lead at mid-season with an impressive 161 points. Ricca’s campaign has been nothing short of dominant, notching five wins and a pair of runner-up finishes to build a commanding advantage over the rest of the field in his No. 78 Ricca Autosport Hyundai Elantra N1 TC EVO.
While Ricca has set the standard at the front, the battle for the podium positions has been equally compelling. PJ Groenke has been a model of consistency, collecting two third-place finishes and four fourth-place results, placing him second in the standings.
Rookie sensation CJ Sepulveda has turned heads in his debut TC America season. Despite missing the doubleheader at Circuit of The Americas, Sepulveda has made the most of his outings with one second-place finish and two third-place podiums, proving he has the speed to challenge the series veterans.
Hyundai N Trophy Cup
In the Hyundai N Cup Trophy, which consists of a championship within a championship for Hyundai competitors, Ricca’s strong season continues. He leads the way with 111 points, buoyed by a sensational triple sweep at Sebring International Raceway earlier this season in May.
The fight for second is razor-thin, with Connor Attrell on 72 points, just ahead of Groenke, who amassed 70 points with a string of competitive finishes.
VIR Awaits
With several key rounds remaining on the 2025 schedule, including the fan-favorite VIRginia International Raceway, the second half promises more door-to-door action. The series returns for Rounds 8 and 9 from July 18th to 20th.
