Driver Insight:  “Detroit is possibly one of the most difficult races on our schedule. The track itself is very technical in terms of driving as well as car tuning capabilities. It is bumpier than Sebring and as technically demanding as Mid-Ohio. Both of those things combined with extremely limited track time but a huge importance of being of to speed quickly, and rolling of the truck with a good race car.” – Bryan Sellers, No. 48 Paul Miller Racing Lamborghini Huracan GT3
