Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas continued to fight for a fourth consecutive GRAND-AM Daytona Prototype driver's championship by posting a runner up finish on Saturday, at the inaugural Rolex Motor Sports Car Series race on the Kansas Speedway.
With 3 top-5 finishes in the last 3 races, the CGRFS duo moved to sixth place in the current standings. At the moment, only 5 points are separating the top six positions in the championship and Pruett and Rojas join Starworks Motorsports co-drivers Ryan Dalziel and Alex Popow as the top BMW Powered drivers in the title battle.

With two races remaining in the season, BMW stands second in Manufacturer points and CGRFS continues to hold the lead in the Team championship. In the GT Class, Bill Auberlen and Paul Dalla Lana finished seventh in the No. 94 Turner Motorsport M3.

Billy Johnson and Michael Marsal finished eighth in the No. 93 machine, dropping from sure third place finish on the last lap to change a leaking tire. Standing fifth, Dalla Lana is the top BMW driver in GT points.

“Congratulations to Scott and Memo for a fine finish. Kansas did not smile on all our teams, but it was an exciting inaugural event. There is no room for error with only two races remaining and all the titles still to be decided,” said Gordon McDonnell, BMWNA Motorsport Manager.
