Ron Fellows spun while leading with three laps remaining, allowing Banner Racing Pontiac GXP.R teammates Paul Edwards and Kelly Collins to score their third 2008 victory in Monday's Grand-Am GT Classic at Lime Rock Park.
It was the fifth consecutive victory for Pontiac in the ACXIOM GT class of the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16.
Edwards, driving the No. 07 Banner Racing Pontiac GXP.R, took the checkered flag 46.232 seconds ahead of Nick Ham, in the No. 70 SpeedSource Castrol Mazda RX-8 he shared with Sylvain Tremblay. It was the third podium finish of the year for the SpeedSource team, the lone non-Pontiac team to win in 2008 Rolex Series GT competition.
Taking third, one lap down was Robin Liddell, driving the No. 57 Stevenson Motorsports Pontiac GXP.R started by Andrew Davis. The Stevenson car was slowed by an engine problem in the early going. While they corrected the malfunction on their first pit stop, the team lost several laps and Liddell spent the remainder of the contest battling back.
Fellows, in the No. 06 Banner Racing Pontiac GXP.R started by Jan Magnussen, recovered to finish fourth.
