Action Express first overall, wins USCR Brickyard Grand Prix
Christian Fittipaldi, Q 4 made a great start, jumped to 2nd and took the lead after some wild contact through turn 1. The team led most of the race, had great pit stops and conserved fuel to the end. The Action Express # 5 now boasts wins at Daytona and Indy and is looking strong to win the USCR championship in its inaugural year.
The Corvette Racing team 4 race winning streak was stopped by Viper. The margin of victory, always close in GTLM was a matter of straight line speed and pit stops. Still leading the points with respectable finish, # 3 Garcia & Magnussen came 4th followed by # 4 Gavin & Milner.
