Virginia International Raceway, in Alton, Virginia. Since 1957, this legendary racecourse has played host to sports car racing of all sorts, even though it did (for a time) lay dormant as farmland for almost 30 years from 1974 to 2003. The first ever IMSA sanctioned race, was here as well. 20 years later, this track is back in business and has reclaimed its place as one of the premier venues for road racing and sports car racing in this country. Today, it is the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship and specifically, the GT classes of GT Daytona Pro and GT Daytona, for GT3 spec race cars, set to do battle for victory. It is the Michelin GT Challenge at VIR! It's live, and it's next!
A total of 19 cars will be starting this event. Five in GTD Pro and 14 in GTD regular. I ought to mention, the first IMSA race here when the series debuted back in 1969 under the guidance of the late, great John Bishop, was not for sports cars but it was a Formula Vee open wheel car race from what I can remember. Will have to reference the IMSA 50th Anniversary book that was published in 2019, to check for sure. VIR, as Paul Newman said, "is heaven on earth". It is an incredible circuit as the GT cars come out to play. The late, great racing journalist Chris Economaki also had fine things to say about this place.
No prototypes to get in the way. It is all about GT racing on this Sunday afternoon. What a gorgeous day. 84 degrees with a touch of humidity at 16%. We have two hours and 40 minutes of racing coming up. In GT Daytona Pro, Jack Hawksworth and Ben Barnicoat lead by a mere 169 points over challengers from Corvette Racing, WeatherTech Racing Mercedes, and Pfaff Motorsports Porsche. Vasser Sullivan have scored their third 2023 pole position. At Mosport Park, it was their first non-podium of the year. They were forced to focus.
James "Sully" Sullivan said to the team "do ordinary, extraordinarily well." The magic number in GT Daytona is one. Paul Miller Racing and their BMW M4 GT3 has been the dominant car in 2023. The Sellers/Snow duo have won half the races already this year. Four wins in eight races. They swept Road America and have momentum, going to the pole as the cars are on track for their recon laps, their formation laps. We have Brian Till and Calvin Fish calling the action topside and Hannah Newhouse and Matt Yocum reporting from the pit lane.
A massive crowd of spectators here ready to see this race happen. A major hurdle is this racetrack. You cannot rest on your laurels at this place. If you make a mistake, your day may be over, finding the grass, and the barriers. The drivers are signing contracts for next year, at this time. Job security is what the drivers are looking for as we are on our last warmup lap. Safety car lights out. The cooler temperatures will be a big help. It was hot and slick in qualifying yesterday. We have a reprieve in the weather, but the track is not cutting anyone any breaks this afternoon.
Desperation may be setting in for some drivers. The field is formed up. We've got a green flag. Go! Bibendum waves the green. Hawksworth takes the inside and chops the Mercedes. Madison Snow wants by Antonio Garcia. Daniel Juncadella is chasing Jack Hawksworth. Don't hang back too much. Argy bargy and dust flying through The Snake. The only difference between the classes is red highlights for Pro and green for regular. The cars are all GT3 spec, and you will just have different driver ratings. Jack Hawksworth has rocketed away from everyone else as Daniel Juncadella has Antonio Garcia right on his six.
Corvette Racing have not had the season they wanted in the final season of the factory Corvette program. Hawksworth and Barnicoat are doing what they've done all season and they have only had one non-podium effort which came in the summer of 2022, over a year ago. Up through The Snake they go. Ben Barnicoat and Jack Hawksworth come from the same part of England, and both have heavy British accents and can understand each other. You need a good exit off Oak Tree, and it is a key corner on the track. There was an actual oak tree there years ago, but it was taken out. The poor tree I think withered away. Through Hog Pen, the final turn. Maintain the balance on the Michelin tires.
They are durable but they will need to last through a stint. The Lexus RC F GT3 is the oldest car in the field but they have a huge notebook of information to set the car up compared to all the newer GT3 cars. On Friday, the Mercedes caught fire, a flash fire disconnecting the fuel rig and hit the exhaust and the red-hot brake rotors. It buffed out and the car was fine. Daniel Juncadella has Garcia making a move. So, Juncadella gives it up to his fellow Spaniard. Oh dear! We have a massive accident, and it is the #92 Kelly Moss Racing Porsche! If you get it wrong, you are in big, big trouble.
Full Course Yellow. Where did that happen? It looks like part of the climbing esses, The Snake. It is in The Snake, in turn five. The safety crews are on site with damage on the wall. At the top of the picture, he gets wide and clobbers the tires and got slightly airborne, spinning to a stop. David Brule out of the car. VIR has bitten. The Snake, has bitten, big style. David Brule and Alec Udell, they are out. Game over. A massive crowd of fans here today to see great racing. If you are going to win today at VIR, keep it between Heaven's gates. Watch your temperatures for the cockpit and the engines and brakes as well. Undercut potential, when the tires lost their edge, come in early and use tire performance to leapfrog the competition.
David Brule's smashed Porsche being loaded onto the rollback truck, and he climbed into the safety vehicle and will be taken for a checkup at the medical center. This race has been going on for eight years and racer's, families, and car clubs come here. Car & Driver magazine has held their "lightning lap" challenge here since 2006. The Michelin tires on these race cars are the same ones used for track days and vintage racing as well. Sheena Monk and Katherine Legge have had quite the season so far in the #66 Gradient Racing Acura NSX GT3. Leaning into the uncomfortable things you have to do adjusting to a new car, is what she has done.
The Acura's are good on the side of tire degradation, and they have been much more focused on getting Sheena Monk up to speed rather than focusing on setups. Patrick Pilet and Pfaff Motorsports have had just one win this year compared to winning five races including here at VIR. They are telling Patrick Pilet to play the long game and save fuel. Pilet sharing with Klaus Bachler and he has been coasting into the brake zones to save fuel. We still have work going on, on the tire barriers. But we'll be back to green soon, fans. Don't worry.
We are set to go back to green. If you pitted now, you can make it to the end on one more stop if you hit the lane now. Punch it. Jack Hawksworth leads. No one is taking to the lane yet. Antonio Garcia in the #3 Chevrolet Corvette C8.R is building tire temperature as Loris Spinelli too, is up on the wheel with some argy bargy between he and Mike Skeen in the #32 Korthoff Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT3. Patrick Pilet is pushing hard. Jack Hawksworth looks great currently and has eked out a lead. Meanwhile, Madison Snow is challenging Daniel Juncadella. I am not fighting you for position but I don't need you in between me and my rival.
Aaron Telitz in the #12 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3 is behind, sharing with Frankie Montecalvo. Loris Spinelli sharing with Misha Goikhberg in the #78 U.S. Racetronics Lamborghini Huracan GT3. Teams can have flexibility with their driver ratings being equally matched. The cars are very evenly matched. Five brands in the top five. This is true in both classes, and all are running very close together. Lexus, Corvette, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Porsche, BMW, and others. Nine OEM's are involved in the championship this year.
Have suspension compliance to eat up the pavement through the esses and use every inch of the curbs but don't drop a wheel off the back side of the curb, carving the corner into Madison Avenue. Watch out for the gray area with the clag, the marbles on the side of the road. Telitz, Spinelli, and Skeen in their own battles. Different sizes, shapes, and sounds of these GT3 cars making power and speed in different ways but racing very close together. Ross Gunn scored track records here at VIR in recent years. Balance of Performance has taken power away from the Aston martin's who have won the last two rounds of the championship.
Patrick Pilet chasing the second GTD class Heart of Racing Aston Martin. #23, the Pro car is Alex Riberas and Ross Gunn and #27 is Roman De Angelis and Marco Sorensen. Patrick Pilet is chasing Roman De Angelis followed by the #96 Turner Motorsports BMW M4 GT3, Patrick Gallagher at the wheel of it, sharing with BMW factory driver, Robby Foley. Strategies at play to go for a win here at VIR. The competition is hot. A battle royal among these GT cars. Daniel Juncadella ahead of Madison Snow, a scrap between GTD Pro and GTD. Juncadella still chasing Garcia.
This course is just over three and a quarter miles, 17 corners. Built on 1,300 acres of land. Peter Gregg and Hurley Haywood won the first IMSA sports car race here in 1971 in a Porsche 914/6. Robby Foley is confident. Daniel Juncadella, for he and Jules Gounon, it has been feast or famine. There is still fire extinguisher residue in the cockpit of the car, like cleaning your toaster or your oven at home. He ran across the grass and inches it back onto the road, feeling the pressure and Madison Snow says, "I gotta get out of here!" Don't be a part of someone else's bad day.
Madison Snow taking his time, not being harried by Aaron Telitz in the #12 Lexus RC F GT3. Minimal changes in track temperatures will drive you nuts because the car will handle completely differently as far as the grip and how the tire sticks to the pavement. It happens everywhere in all forms of racing. Next up in mid-September, IMSA will return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Hello to "Roxy", the pink dinosaur because "Rexy" her brother, is going to Japan for the FIA World Endurance Championship. Roxy might appear only once.
Sebastian Priaulx never knew he would drive a hot pink car, much less a pink dinosaur. P.J. Hyett's daughter designed "Roxy". Madison Snow has cleared Daniel Juncadella and Juncadella now knows not to fight. This sector, hit the gates like a slalom skier. The road falls away and there is huge elevation change. Madison Snow and Paul Miller Racing are making history, four wins in eight races. Holy mackerel. We have been racing now for almost an hour. This all-GT race is going by at a tremendous clip.
Misha Goikhberg now at the wheel of the #78 Lamborghini and they came to the pit lane but had some trouble. Maybe there was a mechanical issue or had trouble with his drive time. Paul Miller Racing in the from the lead of the mtoor race in GT Daytona, and now, will do a driver change with Bryan Sellers. Will he double stint? Will he single stint and hand back over to Madison Snow later? More and more cars in the lane. Turner Motorsports #97 in. Chandler Hull handing over to Bill Auberlen and Patrick Gallagher handing to Robby Foley. Katherine Legge takes over the Gradient Racing Acura from Sheena Monk, car #66.
Auberlen touches Legge and gains a place over Legge. He caught Katherine Legge napping. The #78 car, the Lamborghini lost power and had to power cycle. They are looking at the data on the team but Misha Goikhberg has his head down and eyes forward. He was struggling with his safety belts as well. Korthoff Motorsports now in the lane with the #32 Mercedes-AMG GT3. Mike Skeen handing off to Mikael Grenier. Last year, it was Stevan McAleer and Mike Skeen sharing this race car. Turner Motorsports have gained on the undercut in the #96 car over the Heart of Racing Aston Martin. Inception Racing want better results than they have been getting. They have had two runner-up finishes.
Brendon Iribe sharing with Fredrik Schandorff, the Danish driver. Aaron Telitz brings the #12 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3 to the lane for fuel, tires, and a driver change to Frankie Montecalvo. Full fuel load is 40 seconds. Less time for a splash and dash which is why the driver change is so frantic and hurried. If you make a mistake, put it behind you and focus forward. Bryan Sellers leading GT Daytona in the #1 Paul Miller Racing BMW M4 GT3 three seconds to the good over Frankie Montecalvo.
Pit stop time for the #23 Heart of Racing Aston Martin as Alex Riberas replaces Ross Gunn. Penalty for the sister car, failure to adhere to the minimum fuel flow time or fuel flow rate. The equipment, the fueling rig does the monitoring and the stewards check the numbers. A drive through penalty under green will cost 21 seconds. 17 drivers have not driven a GT Daytona car here at VIR. It is a major jump between a GT4 car and a GT3 car. Corvette #3 in the lane, staying focused on winning before they have their new GT3 car coming next year.
Lexus waiting for Jack Hawksworth to come to the lane and respond to the Corvette. Fredrik Schandorff now chasing Klaus Bachler. McLaren 720S GT3 vs. Porsche 911 GT3R (992). Schandorff forces the issue through turn three as Bachler slams the door in his face! Hawksworth to the pit lane, crawling down to the very end of the lane. Driver change, to Ben Barnicoat. New tires, and fuel in the tank. The car is down off the air jacks, and they are away. Schandorff around Pilet. Jordan Taylor now in the Corvette reeling in Ben Barnicoat. More action still to come and trust me, you will want to stay tuned.
A GT Daytona car is leading overall. Bryan Sellers is driving the #1 Paul Miller Racing BMW M4 GT3. They are putting the knowledge of this car to great use. Goikhberg off in the grass at turn one. Easy to do, and similar to turns 11 and 12 on the other side of the circuit. This place takes massive commitment. All grass runoff. Keep it between heaven's gates. GT3 cars have antilock brakes and poor old Misha Goikhberg locked up. They had power problems on the car, and the antilock brakes are not working on the Lamborghini. The air intakes are packed up with grass. The grass cannot be mowed if it rains just like your lawn at home.
A heavy impact in turn 14. I think it is the same car, the #78 Lamborghini. Poor old Misha Goikhberg has stuffed it into the tires. Full Course Yellow. We are under Full Course Yellow. In replay, screech! Bang! The front brakes are busted. The car will not turn. The antilock brakes are not working and are totally on the fritz. So, we will be under Full Course Yellow for a wee while. We have seen raindrops in the last few minutes. We could get showers or something before the end of the motor race this afternoon. We shall see what the radat looks like.
Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Virginia, hosted the Mazda MX5 Cup for a test with Dale Earnhardt Jr., Chad McCumbee, Bobby Labonte, and Martinsville Speedway President, Clay Campbell. We have seen other drivers like James Hinchcliffe and Parker Kligerman in a Mazda MX5 as well. A couple NBC motorsports personalities. Sheena Monk tells us that the heat is staggering, like opening your oven while wearing a snowsuit. Keep the ice handy. It is so hard to work and drive these cars in the heat. The rain could play into the hands of the Gradient Racing Acura NSX GT3 Evo22. The brollies are up. The umbrellas are for sun and rain alike.
Keeping your core cool, this is the opposite of a radiator, pumping cold water through a driver's body to keep their core temperature down. Lexus has had a great race thus far with a car on rails. Thunderstorms are in the area and we'll have to see if we can race in the wet. There are some small showers and bigger ones 60 miles to the southwest. Extensive and expensive damage to the #78 Lamborghini. Michelin rain tires are at the ready, but the tread blocks dissipate the water and are a much softer compound and cannot work at all in the dry. Some spectators including young racing fans, catching a nap. No time to snooze now as we still have more racing to do.
Green flag. We are racing again. Misha Goikhberg checked and released from the infield care center. Great news. No injuries. The orange #70 Inception Racing McLaren 720S GT3 is moving up and fast. Robby Foley is being chased by Fredrik Schandorff. Foley was on pole in a similar M4 GT3 in SRO competition here at VIR earlier in the summer. Kay van Berlo going side by side with Marco Sorensen. Kellymoss Porsche 911 GT3R vs. Heart of Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT3. The young Dutchman will get his elbows out. Sebastian Priaulx in "Roxy" the bright pink dinosaur Porsche. He has Jules Gounon in the #79 WeatherTech Mercedes-AMG GT3 next up.
We are halfway home. An hour and 20 minutes in, and an hour and 20 minutes left. Barnicoat going to the inside. Jordan Taylor is pushing and wedges his way between the Lexus and the BMW and side by side with Ben Barnicoat and then Barnicoat chops Taylor's nose off through The Rollercoaster and into Hog Pen. The #3 Corvette team wants to go out on a high. Jordan Taylor will be moving along back to GTP with his dad's team and the Acura GTP team for 2024. Jordan Taylor is a very experienced driver and knows he has an outside shot at the championship in the last couple races. But the Lexus team could still clinch the GT Daytona Pro championship today.
We'll have to see what is going to happen. For Ben Barnicoat and Jack Hawksworth, they are playing defense. Corvette was going to pit and take left side tires but they did an audible. The driver can give the team feedback on what to do. Tire rub and bodywork damage on the left rear of the #79 WeatherTech Mercedes. He got clipped by the #9 Pfaff Motorsports Porsche of Klaus Bachler! Bang. Michelin tires are durable but not when they are being sliced into by carbon fiber bodywork, like a razorblade. The stewards are looking at the contact between those two cars. It is not into the sidewall but into the meat, the tread of the tire and it might scythe down to the cords.
Bachler's Porsche has right front corner damage to the fender. No further action after that shemozzle. Mmm hmmm. I am not sure I fully agree with that decision. At least IMSA does make consistent calls in this case. Jordan Taylor is doing all he can to catch and pass Ben Barnicoat. Corvette want to go out on top from their factory effort as Pratt & Miller will run the new GT3 Corvette as well as being in the hands of privateer teams. Klaus Bachler pitted six laps deeper into the race than the leaders did. Both of the Turner Motorsports BMW M4 GT3's are running very well.
Two cars, one team. Patrick Gallagher and his teammates all work together. They are in the hunt, but they don't know if they have the same speed as the McLaren does. It has been a solid day for the #9 Pfaff Motorsports Porsche. No action for a penalty from IMSA after the shemozzle. Bachler told to push by team manager Steve Bortolotti. The #91 Kelly Moss and Riley Motorsports Porsche has been running extremely well. Kay van Berlo sharing with Alan Metni. Some drivers are praying for rain in this last hour. There are showers in the area here in Fairfax County, Virginia. Next year will be even more competitive.
Up through the climbing esses, flat out to turn ten. We shall see pit stops soon. Turner Motorsport and the #96 BMW in the lane for brand new Michelin tires and more VP Racing fuel in the tank. This is their last pit stop. Robby Foley will finish the race out and Bill Auberlen will come in next time around with one hour of racing left. Bang on the fuel number. Ben Barnicoat leads the motor race currently as Aaron Telitz in the sister car is finishing it out and moving up the leaderboard. There is some risk when doing a driver change with a partial fuel load. Corvette to the lane, car #3. They followed the #14 Lexus but called an audible as we said.
Jordan Taylor will finish the race. Bill Auberlen has new tires and fuel and Katherine Legge topping up on fuel in the #66 Acura and the other car to come in for service, the #77 Volt Racing Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3R of Trent Hindman and Alan Brynjolfsson. Lexus #14 now in the pit lane as well. Pit stall number one. Fuel and tires. Execution, poise, focus, have been the keys for the Lexus team but Barnicoat stalls the car and has a delay. Jordan Taylor passes, and Barnicoat pushed too hard and is out of sync. Ugh! He is revving the engine to keep it from bogging down with a rich fuel mixture and the motor stalled.
56 minutes to go. Look at those leaden skies over VIR. I wonder still if we will see raindrops. Ben Barnicoat has to manage it and level out his performance. Although Jordan Taylor is also being told to go for it now that Barnicoat has had his troubles. Corvette Racing has executed very well today. Everything has to work. A penalty for working underneath the car during refueling for the #70 Inception Racing McLaren! That is a massive mistake for a well-oiled team led by former driver Bas Leinders. Dear oh dear.
Bill Auberlen is chasing Snow, Schandorff, and Foley. Auberlen is a true veteran but has been eclipsed in a way by some of the younger drivers. He still has the passion for racing. He can still wheel a GT sports car and specifically, a BMW. Madison Snow is still leading GT Daytona. His co-driver Bryan Sellers tells us that situational awareness is the key and they have had some good, clean racing with the #3 GTD Pro class Corvette. They are still running their own race, with a lead of 200 points that can easily evaporate if something goes wrong. Sellers is not feeling well. Race every single race to do the best you can and not worry so much about points.
But Paul Miller Racing are going on this drive for five wins. After we are done at VIR, we are going to "The Brickyard", the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with the hybrid powered GTP prototypes. We have not been there since 2014. Tune in on Sunday, September 17th. It'll be amazing. Carroll Shelby said, "one lap at VIR is like ten at Watkins Glen." Two great race tracks we race at in IMSA. Kerrigan Smith and company who run the circuit have done a great job with massive investment at the circuit. It is safety for the participants and the spectators alike.
Philip Ellis and Winward Racing are in the top six and have done extremely well in GT Daytona. They rolled off the trailer well. Ellis being chased by Aaron Telitz. A 5-liter V8 in the Lexus RC F GT3 and a 6.2-liter V8 in the Mercedes-AMG GT3. Lady luck has not been on the side of Winward Racing as they have not had any podiums yet this year. Jordan Taylor now leads by 2.4 seconds over Ben Barnicoat. Aaron Telitz, we will have to see what his future holds for 2024 and beyond. Some drivers are in a resume building position right now, for sure.
Klaus Bachler is trying to survive, chasing down Ben Barnicoat. The car is running OK but there's still 38 minutes on the board. It has been a head scratcher with the new 992 model Porsche 911. Porsche's run sixth, seventh, and eighth in GT Daytona. Sebastian Priaulx, Klaus Bachler, and Kay van Berlo. Katherine Legge running ahead of Fredrik Schandorff who is racing IMSA, European Le Mans Series, and SRO Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe. This is a team sport, obviously. A shoutout too to the camera operators, sweltering in the Virginia heat, and Matt Yocum and Hannah Newhouse patrolling the pit lane.
Jordan Taylor now leads Ben Barnicoat by 2.6 seconds. 35 minutes left on the board. Be smooth, be consistent. The points table in GTD Pro looks like this.
The Porsche has not performed extremely well on one particular circuit this year. Nine brands in the two classes in GT Daytona Pro and regular. Porsche have not had the consistency they wanted. The #91 Porsche has a raspier exhaust note for some reason. Something different with the muffler? Is there a problem on the car? I don't think so. Robby Foley in second is keeping Madison Snow honest with Bull Auberlen in third. BMW 1-2-3. 23 minutes of racing remaining. Auberlen trying to hang on to the two younger drivers ahead.
Jordan Taylor has a three second cushion over Ben Barnicoat. 3.1 seconds precisely. Is he saving fuel? Does Corvette need to save fuel? VIR is so deceptive because it looks wider than it is. Hard to get a mulligan today. Only two more races coming after today's event is over. Indianapolis and Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. We are expecting a 50+ car field for Petit le Mans this year coming up in mid-October for the finale. Madison Snow leading Robby Foley by over seven seconds. Other teams in GTD are digging deeper to find ways to compete.
Years ago, Turner Motorsports were the dominant BMW team and they have been this year over Paul Miller Racing and it is a feather in the hat of the team. For Trent Hindman in the #77 Volt Racing Porsche 911 GT3R, he is chasing down Klaus Bachler, a Porsche factory driver. Hindman has won a title before here and won a GT4 championship in Michelin Pilot Challenge and have stepped up into GT3 in the WeatherTech Championship under team boss John Wright, a very experienced team manager. Everyone is in the window to get to the end with 13 minutes to go.
Madison Snow leading from the pole position in third overall. Paul Miller Racing will step up to the GT Daytona Pro class next year. Jordan Taylor has been fuel saving and I wonder if indeed Robby Foley is doing the same. He is indeed. It will be very close in these final ten minutes. Foley pitted a lap earlier than teammate Bill Auberlen. Don't push it and maybe stay content with second spot. The checkered flag is coming soon and we'll have another IMSA WeatherTech Championship race in the bag.
Fredrik Schandorff chasing Kay van Berlo for seventh spot in the GT Daytona class with five minutes left. You never want to be beaten or overtaken. Your ego gets in the way and you don't want to be passed. Schandorff has a head of steam and van Berlo is making him go the long way 'round. I think the McLaren is kinder to the Michelin tires than the Porsche as Phlip Ellis has caught Bill Auberlen. This is for third in GT Daytona. 6.2-liter V8 Mercedes, naturally aspirated, vs. 3-liter turbo V6 BMW. Some drivers want loads of information and other drivers want to do their job and tell their crew like Kimi Raikkonen did famously in a Formula 1 race saying "leave me alone. I know what I'm doing."
Kay van Berlo has Fredrik Schandorff on his six. Just what we spoke about. van Berlo making Schandorff take the high road. He will have to be forceful through turns 11 and 12. It is tough and van Berlo goes off in the dust again. Schandorff is right on him down Madison Avenue. I think Schandorff will clear the Porsche and he does. He slams the door in van Berlo's face. Two laps to go. Race Control will look at that and saw both cars made moves. The #57 Mercedes of Pjhilip Ellis dives inside of Bill Auberlen. This again is the Mercedes and BMW scrap and Ellis is totally demonic on the brakes! Unbelievable!
Bill Auberlen was a shot duck there. Jordan Taylor will have one more lap to go and a second and a half in hand over Ben Barnicoat as Barnicoat has been closing but might run out of time. White flag for Madison Snow in GT Daytona leading Robby Foley by 11 and a half seconds. Don't relax. You have to keep your foot in it. Taylor should have enough in hand and for Barnicoat, he sees it and can almost grab it but it won't be enough. We used to have 2 hour and 45 minute sprint races, but those five minutes were taken out.
Corvette win at Virginia International Raceway, closing the gap to the #14 Lexus for the GTD Pro championship and Paul Miller Racing have now scored five wins in a row in GT Daytona! They make history!
Overall/GT Daytona Pro: #3 Taylor/Garcia Corvette Racing Chevrolet Corvette C8.R GTD
GT Daytona: #1 Snow/Sellers Paul Miller Racing BMW M4 GT3
The next race on the calendar will be a return to the greatest racetrack in the world, "The Brickyard", the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We'll see you at Indianapolis in three weeks. For now, so long from Virginia International Raceway. For now, so long everyone. Take care.
