Talking TRG wins Overall at Daytona

Congratulations to Kevin Buckler and The Racer's Group for their OVERALL victory at the (Rolex) 24 Hours of Daytona. Even though the Daytona Prototype class was in its first-ever race, it is still remarkable that a GT-class car (996 GT3 RS) took overall honors.

Ferraris were also very strong in GT. Could make for an interesting season.

Mike Schrom is a great guy who, like Kevin Buckler, came out of the club-race ranks. Nice to have a chance to share the car with two factory drivers.

Mike,
I agree the Ferrari's are competitive and great to see that the Porsche has some competition. But did you notice that when the announcer asked them what there plans where for the rest of the year no one mentioned Grand Am. It was the ALMS and the LeMans in June.

If you thought this race was good wait until you see Sebring. 65 entries and a very deep field in all classes. Check out the entry list at <a href="http://www.americanlemans.com" target="_blank">www.americanlemans.com</a>
