Pobst and co-driver Michael Levitas have not failed to finish outside the top-two through the first four races of the season, and they will be joined by Porsche hot-shoe Mike Rockenfeller for tomorrow’s race.<BR> <BR> “Wow! We gave it our all for Team Turbo Performance,” Pobst exclaimed. “We’ve got a lot of good competition, but Mike Levitas has found a secret to the setup on these cars with the Hoosier tyres. I had a lap that was pretty good, but I knew I made a mistake coming out of the Boot (the Turns 6-7-8-9 complex), so I went out again and I tried to fix that. It wasn’t perfect, but it was about 99 percent. That was enough for the pole today at The Glen, and I love being first.”<BR> <BR> The SGS pole-sitter’s team car starts second in class after Andy Lally turned in a best lap of 102.609 mph (1:59.288) in the No. 38 TPC Racing Porsche GT3 Cup, and David Murry placed the No. 16 AASCO Motorsports Porsche GT3 Cup third on the SGS grid at 101.984 mph (2:00.019) for the team’s first Rolex Series start since Round 3 at Phoenix in April.<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
