Indianapolis, IN (July 2, 2026) – James Roe enters another busy stretch of racing, fresh off an IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup appearance at Watkins Glen International, where he competed in the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen with Lone Star Racing in the No. 80 Mercedes-AMG GT3. Roe and co-drivers Scott Andrews and Lin Hodenius showed strong pace throughout the weekend, with the No. 80 running in podium contention for much of the race before minor mechanical issues in the closing stages impacted the team’s final result.

Roe now shifts his focus back to INDY NXT competition as he and Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) head to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (July 4-5) for a doubleheader weekend before then making the transition to the high speeds of Nashville Superspeedway (July 12). The two events offer a stark contrast in disciplines, from the technical, flowing corners of Mid-Ohio to the intensity of racing on the 1.33-mile concrete oval outside Music City.

“This summer is busy and intense, but I wouldn’t have it any other way,” said Roe. “Really loved being back in the IMSA mix with Lone Star and Mercedes, and we have a couple more endurance rounds later this year. But ready to be back in my INDY NXT wagon. We just had a great test on the Milwaukee oval where we were P3. And now off to Mid-Ohio where the temperatures will be tough, but we’re ready for the challenge.”
