watch it anyway.
based on how the first few hours started, I figured there was no way they could pull it off.
Great driving from a 'dream team', and great strategy from one of the best in the business.

Congrats guys! You all really earned this one!!

Yep. Great job from Kevin and the guys in the pits, to the drivers, and to the 997 Cup.

Awesome job to the whole team. Great race to watch in both GT and DP. And another nail biting finish. Has to be one of the best races to watch.

What a great drive by Andy and the guys. Hats off to the team for providing them a dialed in car that went the distance.

Incredible, especially given their clutch problems!

I cannot begin to explain the gut wrenching feeling during the last two stints without a clutch. A four lap lead can easily evaporate with the slighest problem. Spencer and Andy brought it home like the pro's they are. Simply outstanding!!

Incredible job, congrats and well deserved! Nice to see you guys back in the right car with amazing results....

From the results think we'll see the p cars hit with some added ballast? And I figure that was the lightest the lizards will be in DP for the rest of the year....

No telling what the Grand Am folks will do--but one thing is for certain--Porsche listened to, and addressed our concerns about the power defeciencies in the 3.6 cars. The new Cup car is significantly faster right out of the box. Certain tracks favor certain set ups where different cars really shine. If future races at a variety of tracks prove that the other makes are not competitive--then we can expect ballast.

Big congratulations. Great job!

Who was the driver that mentioned his PCA experience in the interview? What Region is he in? Nice plug for the club.
