CrowdStrike Racing by Riley Motorsports was originally entered for the fourth round at Virginia International Raceway, but was withdrawn following the CrowdStrike incident. Scott Smithson was originally scheduled to drive the No. 08 Corvette for DXDT Racing at Road America, but Bryson Morris replaced Smithson after the team and driver parted ways. Conor Daly was originally scheduled to drive the No. 99 BMW for Random Vandals Racing at Road America, but it was later announced Daly would miss the race due to an scheduling conflict. Madison Snow replaced Daly for the round.
