By staying in the No. 21 machine, Auberlen continued his GT win streak by taking his fifth consecutive class victory with co-driver Justin Marks. Said and his new co-driver, Joey Hand, finished second allowing Auberlen to move into a tie in the class point standings with 186 markers apiece.<BR> <BR> "This is the second time that I've won the Paul Revere 250 (the first win came in 2002)," Auberlen said. "I really love it. Our car was a handful. The Porsches had us covered on top speed. We had them covered on the infield. We had them covered on our driver lineup, our pit crew and our strategy. We were pretty bad in practice. I left it in the hands of the crew. They tuned the car up. (They) turned it from a four-lap car into a 20-lap car, which was much easier to deal with in the race."<BR> <BR> "We fought the same problem all week," said Marks who scored his first Rolex Series win. "It was difficult for us to get the power down in the corners. It was just real loose. We made a lot of changes before the race. The experience of the team made those changes the right ones. The car was the best in the race and I just tried to stay in touch with the leaders and have the car in a competitive position for when I gave it to my teammate."<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>
