Previous Polesitters: Rained Out

Driver Insight: “Watkins Glen, newly repaved, is a lot of fun and I can’t wait to get back in the PC car with Jon [Bennett] and Mark [Wilkins]. The new pavement has a lot of grip. Even though we tested there for a couple of days, the surface is still a bit of an unknown, because that was right after they repaved it. I’m sure its ever-changing. It won’t be similar to our setup notes from last year for sure! It’ll be fun to figure out and see how it develops over the weekend.” – Colin Braun, Driver No. 54 CORE autosport Oreca FLM09
