Alan Scioto was second, finishing in front of Canadian Kevin Lacroix from Walker Racing who completed the podium.
Laguna Seca is a very technical circuit and it is still one of the favourite among drivers, either in Atlantic or any other motorsports series. Almost every teams and drivers came to Laguna Seca during the off-season to conduct tests and Canadian racer Kevin Lacroix was always among the leaders.
"Although we were always among the top three during the tests, I remember that we always had problems getting up to speed with new set of tires. With the experience we've had in Long Beach, I think we'll be able to make progress," concluded Lacroix.
