Howard Boss Motorsports And Michael Baughman Racing Top Suntrust Award Winners
Through the halfway point in the season, the No. 2 CITGO Howard-Boss Motorsports Pontiac Crawford of Milka Duno, Andy Wallace and Jan Lammers and the No. 46 Michael Baughman Racing Chevrolet Corvette of Gary St. Armour and Mike Yeakle are the only two-time winners of the “SunTrust Improve Your Position Award.” To be eligible for the $500-per-race contingency award, cars must display a SunTrust logo decal, and SunTrust offers the award to all three Rolex Sports Car Series classes.
Duno and Wallace earned their first SunTrust award after charging from 15th on the starting grid to take the overall victory in the Grand Prix of Miami, the same event in which St. Armour and Yeakle took their first of two consecutive awards by going from 12th on the Super Grand Sport (SGS) grid to finish eighth in class. St. Armour and Yeakle made it two-in-a-row in the Food City 250 at Phoenix, when they improved from 11th on the SGS grid to finish fifth in class. Duno became the first Daytona Prototype two-time winner of the award last week in the Paul Revere 250 presented by Brumos Porsche, when she and co-driver Lammers improved from a 13th place starting position to finish sixth. Other winners in the Daytona Prototype category this year were the No. 27 Doran-Lista Racing Lexus Doran (Rolex 24 At Daytona), the No. 5 Essex Racing Ford Multimatic (Phoenix), the No. 81 Rx.com/G&W Motorsports BMW Doran (6 Heures du Circuit Mont-Tremblant) and the No. 01 CompUSA Chip Ganassi Racing Lexus Riley (Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen).
GT winners have been the No. 73 Red Bull BE Racing Ferrari 360 Modena (Rolex 24 At Daytona), the No. 33 Scuderia Ferrari of Washington Maserati GT (Miami), the No. 66 The Racer’s Group Porsche GT3 RS (Phoenix), the No. 77 G&W Motorsports Porsche GT3 RS (Mont-Tremblant), the No. 44 Orbit Racing Porsche GT3 RS (Watkins Glen) and the No. 21 Prototype Technology Group BMW M3 (Paul Revere 250).
In addition to the No. 46, other SGS award winners have been the No. 16 AASCO Motorsports Porsche GT3 Cup (Rolex 24 At Daytona), the No. 41 ORISON-Planet Earth Motorsports Porsche GT3 Cup (Mont-Tremblant), the No. 42 ORISON-Planet Earth Motorsports Porsche GT3 Cup (Watkins Glen) and the No. 37 TPC Racing Porsche GT3 Cup (Paul Revere 250). There will also be a special bonus award of $1,000 presented along with a trophy at the year-end Rolex Series banquet for the team from each class that has accumulated the most overall advanced laps over the entire season.
