Hot off of a win at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, CORE autosport arrives at Road America leading the American Le Mans Series Prototype Challenge Team Championship points. In addition, Colin Braun took over the PC Drivers’ Championship lead.

There’s no other place the team would rather be while leading the points than Road America. Last year, CORE clinched its second-straight PC team championship by finishing one-two at the historic Wisconsin track.

NOTEWORTHY

In 2012, CORE’s two PC entries crossed the finish line first and second, separated by just 0.423-second.

The No. 05 finished second at Road America last year after starting from the back of the grid. The car missed qualifying because it was damaged in practice.

Bennett will also drive in the IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama in the No. 54 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.

PC Qualifying Record: 1:57.172

PC Race Lap Record: 1:59.454 (set by Braun in 2012)

Jon Bennett : “I love Road America. Historically, we’ve done well there. It’s a great part of the country, the fans are always fantastic and it’s one of the highlights of our season. I would give our team an ‘A’ for the season so far, because there were several events where we’ve either broken the car, or we’ve had some distress at a critical time and the team’s done a great job getting the car back on track.”

Colin Braun : “I’m looking forward to Road America. It’s a neat track in the prototype cars because you have a mix of high-speed corners and low-speed corners. It’s a nice, long, old-school track with a little bit of everything. It’s just a really fun race track to go to and I’m excited to head there. We had a strong result with a one-two finish there last year in PC with CORE. Jon and I are looking forward to keeping the lead in the championship.”
