Fall-Line Motorsports wins six races and scores 11 podiums in 13 starts to take the crown by 48 points.
Mark Boden and his Fall-Line Motorsports team are champions. On a rain-soaked Saturday at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, Boden sealed the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge North America by Yokohama GT3 Cup Masters championship, capping a season in which the blue Fall-Line Motorsports #246 Wagner Custom Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992) ran at the front from the first round to the last.
• 6 RACE WINS • 11 PODIUMS • 13 STARTS • + 48 POINTS MARGIN
The numbers tell the story. Boden collected victories at Barber Motorsports Park, Sonoma Raceway, Circuit of the Americas and Virginia International Raceway, then swept both races at Road America in August – a Wisconsin double that turned a slim nine-point lead into real breathing room heading into the final weekend. He finished the year 48 points clear of runner-up Alain Scalzo, with Todd Treffert third.

The finale was a test of nerve. Heavy rain hammered the 2.54-mile Road Atlanta circuit, and with Race 2 ultimately abandoned, Boden’s fourth-place finish in Saturday morning’s rain-shortened race was enough to lock up the title.
“Big thanks to Porsche Motorsport, USAC and Yokohama for a great series to compete in, and to the Fall-Line Motorsports team for a super-competitive car all season,” said Boden after the race. “The Porsches are great. You never miss a session. You never miss a lap. But it’s the camaraderie – all the competition and the people you’re around the entire weekend.”
Boden and Fall-Line also have deep roots at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Ill., where Mark is a founding member. Fall-Line operates a race shop at the Club that supports Autobahn members with racing, trackside support, maintenance, and coaching – the same expertise that powered the #246 to the title.
Looking Ahead to 2027
Fall-Line Motorsports has raced every season since Porsche Sprint Challenge North America launched in 2021, and will be back for its seventh consecutive season in 2027 – and it promises to be the biggest yet. The calendar expands to eight rounds, adding WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and welcoming back Watkins Glen International, and the series debuts the all-new Porsche 911 Cup (Type 992.2). Joining it is Porsche’s new 911 Challenge, a 508-horsepower, GT3-based entry-level race car built to bring more drivers into Porsche one-make racing.
“We are looking forward to racing the new 992.2 Cup cars, as well as Porsche’s new entry-level 911 Challenge car,” said Steve Zabel, Fall-Line Motorsports Team Manager.
