Alex Gurney showed the Grand-Am field the taillights of his No. 99 GAINSCO Auto Insurance Pontiac-powered Riley today in unofficial open testing at VIRginia International Raceway for Sunday’s VIR 400k for the Daytona Prototypes. Gurney turned in by far the fastest time of the day – a 1-minute, 45.766-second lap of the quick and challenging 3.27-mile circuit. While Gurney, his co-driver Jon Fogarty and the rest of the GAINSCO team know it won’t be this easy in qualifying tomorrow or in the race on Sunday, the quick start was a confidence-boosting performance.
Tomorrow, official practice goes green at 11:30 a. m., and Fogarty will take the wheel of the GAINSCO machine for a 15-minute qualifying session at 2:40 p. m.
