CTSC: Plumb brothers prevail in wild GS finish at VIR - Racer
Running in third position with two laps remaining, Plumb saw his top two competitors run out of fuel on the penultimate lap – giving the No. 13 Billfish Foundation/Rum Bum Film & HD Studios/RumBumGear. It also all allowed the Plumb brothers to close in on the Grand Sport (GS) championship with only two races remaining. “Our power steering went out late in Hugh’s stint and it wasn’t the greatest situation,” Matt Plumb said. “In the back of my head, I said, ‘If Hugh isn’t complaining, I’d better not complain. The final hour featured a thrilling battle between BJ Zacharias in the No. 14 Doran Racing Nismo GT Academy Nissan 370Z, started from the pole by Brad Jaeger, and Brett Sandberg in the No. 99 Automatic Racing Invisible Glass/Rogue Engineering/Red... Jaeger suddenly slowed entering the Oak Tree Turn (Turn 11) with a lap and a half remaining – giving the lead to the rapidly closing No. 99 machine. Sandberg headed to the pits – just as the caution and white flags waved for the stopped Nissan of Jaeger. Sandberg drove through the pits hoping to coast through the final lap, only to also run out of fuel after leading twice for 19 total laps. Source: www.racer.com
