“I had a run on the leader (No. 6 car at the time) on the back straight, and was able to get inside of him and had the lead for a second or two, but just ran out of room and I didn’t want to get into him, ” Pruett said. “I had to get out of it a little bit and that allowed Max to get by and he brought the 05 car with him. It was a scrap out there all race long. That’s what Grand-Am racing is all about. We had a strong effort from everyone – Memo did a great job, Lexus did a great job and really the whole Telmex Ganassi team was terrific. ”
“I’m happy with my first podium, ” Rojas added. “The racing was really tough. It seemed like we were always in a battle trying to get to the front. In the end, I think any of the cars that were running up front had a chance depending on traffic. It was really good racing. ”
Bill Auberlan’s No. 05 Daytona Prototype earned its first win just ahead of the No. 10 SunTrust DP of Max Angelelli and Jan Magnussen.
