Calabogie, ON — Shopify Racing Powered by TWOth left Road America exactly where a first-year team dreams of being: locked in a championship fight with everything still to play for. A strong run for the No. 2 Ligier JS P325 in the Airbnb Endurance Challenge round of the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge left Travis Hill tied at the top of the LMP3 Bronze Cup standings — setting up a winner-take-all finale.
For a program in its debut LMP3 season, arriving at the final weekend with a share of the class points lead is a statement. It is the kind of result that turns a new team into a name people watch.
The endurance round at the four-mile Road America circuit is one of the most demanding tests on the calendar — a battle that rewards pace, discipline, and flawless execution across a full driver rotation. The No. 2 delivered on all three.
The result pulled Travis Hill level at the very top of the P3 Bronze Cup championship: after Round 12, Hill sits tied on 3,750 points with rival Brian Thienes, the two of them more than 900 points clear of the rest of the class. In a category this competitive, that kind of margin over the field is earned only through a full season of consistency — strong stint pace, clean pit work, and keeping the car out of trouble when it matters most. Road America was the round that turned a season-long fight into a straight two-way duel for the crown.
A key part of the Road America story is the addition of Daniel Oliver to the driver lineup. Pairing with Travis Hill for the two-driver endurance format, Oliver brought speed and composure at exactly the right moment in the season. Building a driver pairing that clicks under pressure is one of the hardest things to do in sports car racing — and the confidence the crew showed across a demanding endurance stint is a big reason the No. 2 is now fighting for a title in its first year.
The championship now comes down to the season finale at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, where two sprint races will decide the Bronze Cup. The shift from the endurance format to sprint racing changes the math entirely — shorter, sharper, and every position on track counts from green to checkered.
With the title lead tied, Shopify Racing Powered by TWOth controls its own destiny. Two races, everything on the line, and a team that has proven all season it belongs at the front. It is exactly the kind of finish that makes racing worth watching — and exactly the kind of pressure this team has shown it can handle.
Step back from any single result and the bigger picture is even more compelling. In its very first LMP3 campaign, Shopify Racing Powered by TWOth has gone from newcomer to title contender, matching the most experienced hands in the class point for point. That trajectory — the pace, the professionalism, the ability to build a winning driver pairing and execute under endurance conditions — is the foundation the team is building on, with an eye firmly on the 2027 VPRC endurance championship and the next rungs of the endurance ladder.
For now, all eyes turn to Road Atlanta. Two sprint races, a Bronze Cup title tied at the top, and a team hungry to finish the job. Follow the No. 2 as Shopify Racing Powered by TWOth goes for the championship October 1 — 2, 2026.
Shopify Racing Powered by TWOth competes in the LMP3 class of the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge with its No. 2 Ligier JS P325. The 2026 season concludes with two sprint races at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
