Crown Royal 200: Grand-AM Rolex Sports Car Series Pre-Race Quotes

Grand AM


John Pew (No. 6 Michael Shank Racing Ford Riley): “I’m really looking forward to the Glen because we had a great test there earlier this season, and it’s just a track that I love racing on.”

Wayne Taylor (No. 10 SunTrust Racing Pontiac Dallara): “Montreal was a good example of just how competitive it is in this series. We had a fast car, as we’ve had all along since we introduced the Dallara, and a problem set us back and sent us home in sixth place. It was an exciting race, a lot went on out there from beginning to end. I’m sure anyone who saw it is a bigger fan of Grand-Am racing than ever. Unfortunately, we weren’t racing for the win there at the end. Fortunately, we are going to Watkins Glen this week, where we have had some of our best days.”

Carlos de Quesada (No. 28 Alegra Motorsports Porsche Riley): “We will be there. We’re very excited. We believe the car will perform well. Mechanically, the car’s very good. From this point on, it’s about learning about the car and trying to figure out its aerodynamic package. We’re not dealing with the traffic with the GT cars, so we think it’s a great race to debut the car. We will be attending Utah, and then getting everything ready to get running next year, starting off with the Rolex 24 At Daytona.”

Darren Law (No. 58 Brumos Racing Porsche Riley): “We would love to get it at The Glen. That’s where Bob Snodgrass grew up, and he was always excited to go back there. The Glen would be a great place to do it. We’ve got two cars in the top five in the team points. We’re knocking on the door. The Glen would be a great place to win.”

Jon Fogarty (No. 99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing Pontiac Riley): “We have been in a position to win a lot of races and things just aren’t going our way. But we have got pace and we are doing the right things but we just have things going wrong, and that can’t last forever. I want to start building momentum and carry it through the end of the season straight into Daytona next year. That’s kind of where I am setting my sights right now.”

Alex Gurney (No. 99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing Pontiac Riley): “We think we can give the Ganassi guys a hard time the last four races. We arrive at the track every weekend thinking we’re going to win. We’ve won a lot at The Glen, and we’ve been on the podium a bunch of times. We love it there. Last year’s race was pretty crazy. It came down to the last lap, and we won in a good battle with Max Angelelli and Colin Braun.”
