I’m still in shock…what an epic race at a legendary track with the best team.
This was only our second race in the ChampCar Endurance Series EC class, which is a tough class considering there are practically no performance upgrade rules/penalties.
The car and the team were flawless! We battled for the lead throughout the entire 14 hours! As a matter of fact, all four of our drivers led the race throughout the day.
Our newest driver, Parker Shields, laid down some 2:14 laps, but was pushed into the wall making a pass on the tri-oval, spinning into the grass…and we thought our day was done. Until Sean the crew chief assessed the damage and the team sprung into action and got the car back out in record time without even going to the garage. This happened with 3 hours remaining in the race. Bill Herrington, Ken Adams and myself drove a severely damaged vehicle, chasing down 1st place putting down some respectable lap times of 2:20. With only an hour remaining in the race, I got in and made some 2:16’s until we were within a minute of the leader! On the LAST LAP, the leader cut down a tire and contacted another car!
There was some divine intervention if you ask Pastor Paul Broussard, who held the pre race prayer via FaceTime!
What an epic race, what an effort, what an epic team!
Thanks to all the competitors, who were just as astonished as we were, and for Champcar for a great event! Thank you to the sponsors who helped get us here and who believe in us!
This weekend was our 21st podium finish, and our 7th win across two national endurance series in 3 seasons. We have been very blessed!
