In GT action, Andy Lally and RJ Valentine welcomed Spencer Pumpelly to the No. 66 TRG GRC/Maxter Porsche GT3 and the team scored its second victory in three races. Lally passed No. 81 Synergy Racing EMC Mechanical/Gamewell Mechanical Porsche GT3 co-driver Richard Westbrook 23 laps from the end and beat Dirk Werner and the No. 87 Farnbacher Loles Motorsports Marquis Jet/IPC Porsche GT3 by 2.721 seconds. Lally drove two stints, and took over from Pumpelly during the final third of the race. "It was absolutely wild out there; the GT class has just gotten so strong," Lally said. "During the last few laps I was alongside two of the best Porsche drivers out there, passing Richard (Westbrook), who is a super driver, and then had Dirk (Werner) come up on me and battle until the very end. I grew up in New York so winning here and having my family watching really means a lot to me." For Valentine, it was a fitting start to his weekend. "I'm so happy about this win," Valentine said. "Next to the Rolex 24 At Daytona, winning the six-hour is a major accomplishment. My teammates are priceless, and I couldn't have done this without them. Tomorrow is my 63rd birthday and God gave me the best birthday present today. Pumpelly scored his first Rolex Sports Car Series class victory of 2007 after winning at Laguna Seca in KONI Challenge action. "At one point I was trying to pass Bryce Miller and he ran me into the grass," Pumpelly said. "I ended up losing six spots, but the car was so good that I was actually able to drive back through the field on the next lap. This was a great win. I love this track, I love these people. Thanks to TRG and (car owner) Kevin Buckler; he puts together a great team that really made today's win." ~Linds 6/11/2007  You are the MAN! Congrats, and hope to see you soon.
