Few weekends bring together racing, performance, and automotive culture quite like Petit Le Mans.
FOX Factory Vehicles spent an unforgettable week at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta for the 2026 running of Petit Le Mans. From the FOX Factory 120 to the ten hour main event on Saturday, the weekend gave us a front row seat to some of the best racing of the year and a chance to connect with fans throughout the property.
Between the action on track, our presence on Vendor Row, and the vehicles we brought with us, there was no shortage of memorable moments.
The FOX Factory 120
The FOX Factory 120 has become a familiar part of Petit Le Mans weekend at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
FOX Factory first became the title partner of the Friday race in 2017 and has remained part of the event ever since. Traditionally, the FOX Factory 120 serves as the season finale for the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge and leads directly into the Petit Le Mans main event on Saturday. FOX Factory renewed the partnership in 2024, continuing a relationship with Road Atlanta that now spans nearly a decade.
The connection goes beyond the race itself. FOX Factory also has a technology innovation center located near Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta and maintains a longstanding presence around the property and the surrounding motorsports community.
The 2026 FOX Factory 120
This year's FOX Factory 120 brought 45 cars to Road Atlanta across the Grand Sport and Touring Car classes, with championships still on the line as the Michelin Pilot Challenge season came to a close.
Thomas Merrill and Martin Sarukhanyan came out on top in the No. 14 Circle H Racing Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 Evo, earning their first IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Grand Sport victory. The pair completed 77 laps and won by just 2.339 seconds.
FOX Factory Vehicles also had a role on track throughout the weekend. This year's pace car was an Orange Crush FOX Factory Silverado 1500, bringing one of our most capable performance trucks directly into the action at Road Atlanta.
For FOX Factory, seeing another FOX Factory 120 play out in front of the Petit Le Mans crowd was a great way to start the weekend and continue a tradition that has become part of the Road Atlanta experience.

Petit Le Mans Takes Center Stage
Saturday brought the main event and ten hours of endurance racing at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
Petit Le Mans delivered everything fans expect from one of the biggest races of the year. The field battled through traffic, changing conditions, multiple caution periods, and a weather interruption before the racing continued into the night.
The race saw a record 16 full course cautions and a stoppage of roughly 27 minutes because of nearby lightning. Even with all of the interruptions, the battle for the overall win remained close until the final laps.
Porsche Penske Motorsport ultimately took the overall victory in the No. 6 Porsche 963 with Matt Campbell, Kevin Estre, and Laurens Vanthoor. Vanthoor crossed the finish line just 1.205 seconds ahead of the No. 24 BMW M Hybrid V8.
Watching Petit Le Mans transition from daylight into darkness is one of the things that makes the race so special. The track, cars, lights, and atmosphere completely change as the sun goes down while the intensity continues building all the way to the finish.

FOX Factory Vehicles on Vendor Row
The racing was only part of the experience.
Throughout the weekend, FOX Factory Vehicles was set up on Vendor Row with several of our builds on display. It gave fans the chance to see the vehicles up close, meet members of the team, ask questions, and spend some time with us away from the track.
We loved getting the chance to connect with everyone who stopped by.
Whether you came over to check out the vehicles, grab merchandise, or simply talk trucks with us, those conversations were a huge part of what made the weekend memorable.
A Closer Look at What We Brought
One of the best parts of Vendor Row was getting several very different FOX Factory Vehicles builds in front of fans at the same time.
From a current concept to lowered street builds and a FOX Factory truck, the lineup gave fans a look at the range of ideas, styles, and performance focused vehicles we continue to develop.
DCHD Concept
One of the biggest conversation starters on Vendor Row was our Ram 2500 DCHD concept.
Built on the Ram 2500 Rebel Crew Cab 4x4, the DCHD gives us the opportunity to explore what a heavy duty Direct Connection build can look like through the FOX Factory Vehicles lens. The concept features FOX Live Valve semi active suspension, Baja Kits billet suspension components, 37 inch BFGoodrich KO3 tires on Method wheels, a MagnaFlow exhaust, and custom interior details that give the truck its own identity.
Under the hood is Ram's 6.4 liter HEMI V8, with additional performance potential still being explored for the platform.
Because the DCHD is still a concept, bringing it to Petit Le Mans gave us a great opportunity to put it in front of enthusiasts, hear reactions firsthand, and give fans an early look at one of the ideas we are currently developing.
Stay tuned to FOX Factory Vehicles for the latest updates and what comes next.
Black Widow Lowered Silverado SR
The Black Widow Lowered Silverado SR also drew plenty of attention throughout the weekend.
The SR takes the Silverado platform in a different direction with a lower stance, aggressive Black Widow styling, and a stronger street performance focus. A Ridetech suspension setup helps give the truck its planted stance and sharper road presence, while an available Whipple supercharger can take output up to 675 horsepower.
The result is a Silverado that combines bold styling with real performance hardware, giving the SR a distinct personality within the Black Widow lineup.
Black Widow Lowered Tahoe
The Black Widow Lowered Tahoe brought a completely different presence to Vendor Row.
Its lower stance and aggressive Black Widow styling give the Tahoe a more street focused personality while keeping the size, utility, and presence of a full size SUV.
A Ridetech suspension setup helps give the Tahoe its planted stance and more controlled road presence, while the exterior treatment adds the darker, more aggressive look that defines the Black Widow lineup.
The result is a full size SUV that feels noticeably different from a traditional Tahoe, with a stronger emphasis on stance, styling, and street performance.
FOX Factory Truck
We also brought our FOX Factory Silverado 1500 to Road Atlanta, giving fans another look at how FOX performance, vehicle development, and complete vehicle design come together in one build.
The truck delivers 700 horsepower and pairs that power with a factory integrated long travel suspension system offering 14.5 inches of front travel. It also features 37 inch all terrain tires, bead grip forged alloy wheels, and handmade carbon fiber components.
That combination gives the FOX Factory Silverado a very different personality from the street focused builds in the lineup and highlights the off road performance side of what we do at FOX Factory Vehicles.
A Week We Will Remember
Petit Le Mans 2026 gave us a little bit of everything.
We watched the FOX Factory 120 close out another IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season, experienced ten hours of racing on Saturday, spent time with fans on Vendor Row, and had the chance to showcase several very different FOX Factory Vehicles builds throughout one of the biggest motorsports weekends of the year.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, talked with the team, checked out the vehicles, and helped make the weekend such a great experience.
We are already looking forward to the next one.
