Nothing was going to keep Scott Maxwell, Joe Foster and the No. 55 Mustang GT from claiming the team's second consecutive Grand-Am KONI Challenge Series Grand Sport track victory Saturday at Mosport International Raceway. On the race's fourth and final restart, with nine minutes to go, Maxwell got a great jump on Plumb, and won by 3.013 seconds over Plumb in the No. 60 Mustang GT. Foster, who started on the pole, led the opening 40 laps before the race's first caution period. Foster passed through the pits but did not stop, as confusion mounted as to whether the pits were open. Foster returned to the pit area on the next lap for routine service and a driver change, and Maxwell returned to the track in ninth place. Billy Johnson and Tom Milner filled out the race's podium, as the pair took third in only their second race in the No. 18 BMW Z4. Dumoulin and Tom Nastasi, who switched from the Ford Mustang to the BMW M3 earlier this year, were fourth in the No. 5 BMW M3. Holtom Win Second Straight Street Tuner Race Jamie Holtom and Eric Curran led the final 64 laps in the Street Tuner race to give himself and Jamie Holtom their second consecutive class victory in the No. 01 Chevrolet Cobalt SS. Skavnes and Chuck Hemmingson posted their best finish of the season with a second-place finish. Quebec brothers Kuno and Nick Wittmer finished third in the No. 32 Acura TSX, keeping both drivers near the top of the point standings. Nick Wittmer started the race ninth before brother Kuno zipped through the field, and earned third after a last-lap incident between the No. 29 Honda Civic Si of Matt Plumb and the No. 00 Chevrolet Cobalt SS of Kirk Spencer.
