After a hectic Race 1 filled with yellow flags, Ferrari Challenge North America drivers did not let off the throttle in Race 2 at Daytona International Speedway.
The pair of half-hour races for Trofeo Pirelli and Coppa Shell sparked intense rivalries and sent some drivers spinning, all while the series wraps up its first third of the 2025 season.
Trofeo Pirelli. Surrounded by chaos, Dylan Medler (The Collection) seized the moment to outlast and outpower his rivals for a double Trofeo Pirelli victory at Day tona.
The young gun trio of polesitter Massimo Perrina (Ferrari of Seattle), Johnny Kaminskey (Ferrari of Long Island) and Medler provided Ferrari fans with epic racing in the opening half of Sunday’s race, swapping positions amongst themselves around the entire 3.56-mile racetrack.
A red flag halted the action momentarily, and proved to be the demise for Kaminskey who suffered a flat tire prior to the restart.
Left to battle for the win, Medler played in Perrina’s mirrors long enough to trick his rival into a mistake. The latter ran wide in Turn 1 and Medler passed on the inside with six minutes remaining. While Perrina fought back, he finished second by 0.311 seconds.
Jason McCarthy (Wide World Ferrari) acknowledged that only with a mistake from one of the leading drivers would he land on the podium. That storyline ultimately played out, and McCarthy finished third for his first podium of the year.
In Trofeo Pirelli Am, Brad Fauvre (Ferrari of San Francisco) rewarded his team’s all-night repair effort with a pole position and flag-to-flag victory. Fauvre was wrapped up in a late incident on Saturday, but dominated his class on Sunday for his third win of 2025.
Sebastian Mascaro (Ferrari of Central Florida) followed in second place – a rebound effort of his own after a spin on Saturday. Meanwhile, David Musial (Ferrari of Lake Forest) finished third for the second consecutive day, and slid into the spot only on the penultimate lap after pressuring a competitor into a spin.
Coppa Shell. Both the Coppa Shell and Coppa Shell Am classes set the stage for a dramatic finish on Sunday, but action was cut short by a race-ending yellow flag in similar fashion to Race 1.
