You guys were consistent on Saturday and it was proof. Short pit stops and keeping the car on the track is key to being in the top 10. We had a couple issues on Saturday, probably spent 45 minutes in the pits overall.

I was very fast at BIR last year when it rained late in the day on Sunday compared to the other cars, so they wanted me to go out first on Sunday at Road America since it was raining. The only car that was faster than us early on was the #66 Integra because they were running snow tires, but that is a story for another day. When I got out of the car we were in 2nd, and were in the top 3 all day. The last hour and a half of the race we were neck and neck with the yellow Impreza. Dustin was driving and he said they were passing each other 2 to 3 times a lap over the last hour. Then seeing him come out from behind the Impreza just as they came over the crest at the start/finish line was amazing. 7 hours of racing only to be bumper to bumper with the car ahead of you at the end is just crazy.
