The highlight of the day was the victory by the Paul Miller Racing team. Drivers Bryan Sellers and Madison Snow drove a strong race in their No. 1 BMW M4 GT3 from Snow’s seventh place starting position. Snow took over the GTD class lead on lap 55, holding the point until pitting to hand off to Sellers on lap 89. A late race caution period closed up the field with Sellers in fourth. The green flag waved with 10 minutes remaining and within two laps Sellers took over second place. Coming to the checkered flag the leader ran out of fuel Sellers took the second GTD victory of the season for Paul Miller Racing.

Bryan Sellers, Driver No. 1 Paul Miller Racing (P1) – “We may not have had the fastest car in the class today, but we put ourselves in a position to win. Madison drove great first stints. Late race restarts can go either way. This time it came to us.”

Madison Snow, Driver No. 1 Paul Miller Racing (P1) – “We made a great call to be the first in the class to pit. It gave me a clear track to really move up. Bryan was very strong at the end. That and a bit of luck got us a great win.”

Connor De Phillippi, Driver No. 25 BMW M Team RLL (dnf) – “We went off on our own strategy because of our poor starting position and made up some track position early on. In the end, it just was not our day.”

John Edwards, Driver No. 25 BMW M Team RLL (dnf) – “Not to finish makes what began as a bad day even more of a bad day. We made a good call to undercut and move Connor forward, but today was not our day.”
