3- Tiebreaker Decides ST Championship:
The Street Tuner class of the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge couldn't have been closer.

Compass360 Racing duo Lawson Aschenbach and David Thilenius took the title in a title-breaker of third-place finishes with BimmerWorld/GearWrench drivers Bill Heumann and Seth Thomas after the two teams ended the year tied in points with 274 each.

2- Michael Shank Racing Rebounds From Devastating Fire:
Michael Shank Racing rebounded in a big way from a fire that destroyed the team's No. 6 Ford/Riley at Watkins Glen International.

With less than two weeks to prepare cars for the team's home state race at Mid-Ohio, MSR leased a Ford/Dallara from Doran Racing, and thrilled Buckeye fans with a 2-4 finish with two cars.

1- Ganassi Racing's Pruett, Rojas Enjoy Record-Breaking Season:
Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas enjoyed the most dominant season in GRAND-AM history, winning nine of 12 races en route to their second Daytona Prototype championship in three years - Pruett's third - while TELMEX Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates won its fourth team title since 2004.

In addition to victories, the team set records for podium finishes and team laps led, and Rojas led all drivers with four poles.
