From Grand-Am
Jon Fogarty passed Scott Pruett at the entrance to the Corkscrew with 22 laps remaining in Sunday's 106-lap Verizon Festival of Speed and held on to give the No. 99 Pontiac Riley its second Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car victory of the season at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Fogarty made his pass for the lead moments before the fourth and final caution, and then slowly pulled away after the final restart. He started and finished the race; Alex Gurney drove the middle shift.
It was the team's 10th Rolex Series victory, beating the No. 01 Lexus Riley started by pole sitter Memo Rojas by 7.228 seconds. Max Angelelli finished third in the No. 10 Ford Dallara started by Brian Frisselle.
The victory allowed Fogarty and Gurney to take the Daytona Prototype point lead. Rolex 24 At Daytona winners Darren Law and David Donohue finished eighth in the Brumos Porsche Riley, and fell to second in the standings, eight points behind (119-111).
In GT, Nick Ham and Sylvain Tremblay teamed to lead 84 laps to give the No. 70 Mazda RX-8 its first Grand-Am Rolex Series GT victory of the campaign.
Ham started on the pole and led four times for 50 laps. Tremblay took over and led the final 34 circuits after taking the lead from Paul Edwards.
Edwards and Kelly Collins teamed to lead for nine laps in the No. 07 Pontiac GXP.R. They held on to finish second, 8.23 seconds behind. Leh Keen and Dirk Werner completed the podium in the No. 87 Porsche GT3.
Pumpelly retains the Acxiom GT point lead, one ahead of Keen and Werner (117-116).
The next action for the Grand-Am Rolex Series will be on June 6 at Watkins Glen International.
