Bryan Herta Autosport delivered another strong performance at the O’Reilly Auto Parts 4 Hours of Mid-Ohio, earning a double podium finish in round four of the 2026 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season. The result marked the fourth consecutive race in which BHA placed two Hyundai Elantra N TCR entries on the podium, maintaining the team’s perfect record of multiple podium finishers through the opening four rounds of the season.
The No. 76 Hyundai Elantra N TCR of Denis Dupont and Preston Brown finished second after another strong performance in endurance competition. Dupont moved into the race lead during the closing stages and held the top position until the final lap before ultimately finishing runner-up. The result extended Dupont and Brown’s streak of podium finishes in four-hour IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge races since joining BHA, with the duo now recording six podium finishes in six four-hour events with the team.
The No. 98 Hyundai Elantra N TCR of Maddie Aust and Mark Wilkins secured third place, earning Aust her first career podium. Having now ticked the podium box, Aust and Wilkins will look to build on their momentum as they chase their first victory of the season.
The No. 18 Hyundai Elantra N TCR of Lance Bergstein, Harry Gottsacker, and Jon Miller finished fourth, narrowly missing out on a podium result. Miller rejoined Bergstein and Gottsacker for the team’s second and final endurance race of the season after also sharing driving duties with the pair at the season-opening BMW M Endurance Challenge at Daytona.
The No. 33 Hyundai Elantra N TCR of Mason Filippi and Bryson Morris battled at the front of the field for much of the race and remained in contention for the victory before contact from another competitor caused damage that compromised their race. Despite the setback, the championship-leading duo recovered to finish eighth and collect valuable points.
