Good to see, fer sure. A nice (and I staged!) 1-2 photo finish for the team.

Good job, Chevy.

Did you get to watch that last hour-hour and a half of racing? 

No man. These days I'm either working or sleeping. Heard it was pretty epic though-the Corvette boys threw team orders to the wind apparently.

It was some of the best overall racing I've seen in awhile. Some of it because it was for 1st, some of it was teammates, some of it was how clean they were, some of it was just knowing all of the variables that faced both teams and after 23hrs they were bumper to bumper.

 

No the team said to let them race but keep it clean. Fantastic orders to hear after all of the "team" debacles in other forms of motor sports watering down the overall product. 

 

" "You don’t spend 23.5 hours working this hard and not let those guys continue to race.”

Fehan assured Garcia once he moved into second that there would be no team orders. After that, the battle for the win was on in the season-opening IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race. Once he shed the No. 912 Porsche 911 RSR of Earl Bamber to take second, Garcia set his sights on Gavin and the two ran nose-to-tail over the final 20 minutes. With three minutes remaining, Garcia briefly passed Gavin entering turn one, but ran wide, allowing Gavin to retake the position.

“All I could think about was my boss, Doug Fehan and what he would say if we did touch,” said Gavin. "

I definitely admire the team to not order a sit behind 1-2 finish but to let them go at it.
