Quebec race car driver Kuno Wittmer, who started second at the Lime Rock Park Speed World Challenge Championship, took his second victory of the season. Polesitter Pierre Kleinubing and Chip Herr completed the podium.

Immediately after the start, Wittmer launched into the lead in his Acura TSX as Kleinubing was left spinning his tires at the line.

"At the start, I had the right RPM and was able to get off the line," Wittmer said. "I had a good start and I saw Pierre did spin his tires a little bit, so I had to take advantage of that."

Wittmer increases his lead at the top of the championship by 22 points over Kleinubing (437 to 415).

The second half of the SCCA SPEED Touring Car Doubleheader at Lime Rock Park will take place today.
