BACK TO BACK.(Competition)
The Krohn Racing Riley-Ford team tightened its grasp on the Grand American Daytona Prototype championship with a second consecutive victory by Jorg Bergmeister and co-driver Colin Braun in the Porsche 250 at Barber Motorsports Park.
Braun started from the pole and led throughout his 35-lap opening stint before turning the car over to Bergmeister. Four caution periods before halfway, and with rain threatening, teams used several different pit strategies. Bergmeister did not cycle back into the lead until lap 78 of the 97-lap race.
As the day's fifth full-course caution came out on lap 83, Bergmeister managed to get on and off pit road for a splash of fuel without surrendering the lead. Defending Daytona Prototype co-champion Max Angelelli came up behind Bergmeister on the ensuing restart for a battle to the finish. Bergmeister led through a final full-course caution from laps 89 to 92, and finally pulled away to win by 1.327 seconds.
It was Bergmeister's third win of the season, following his triumph alongside Braun in the Brumos Porsche 250 at Daytona and the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen with co-driver Boris Said in June. Bergmeister holds a 39-point lead, 393 to 354, over Angelelli in the DP driver standings with three races remaining.
Angelelli and co-driver Jan Magnussen came home second in the No. 10 machine for Angelelli's seventh straight top-four result. A 10th-place finish by Chip Ganassi Racing Riley-Lexus co-drivers Scott Pruett and Luis Diaz catapulted Angelelli into second in the DP driver standings.
Alex Job Racing's Mike Rockenfeller and Patrick Long picked up their second straight podium finish with a third-place run in their Crawford-Porsche. It was their sixth podium in 10 starts in a streaky season; the duo opened the year with four consecutive podiums before a four-race streak without a finish better than 15th.
TRG/F1 Air Pontiac GTO.R co-drivers Marc Bunting and Andy Lally extended their points lead with their fourth win of the season in the GT class. They hold an 11-point lead over Porsche 911 GT3 co-drivers Robin Liddell and Wolf Henzler with two races to go. Liddell and Henzler finished second, followed by Paul Edwards and Kelly Collins in the TRG/iRise Pontiac GTO.R.
