The two will be seeking their first ALMS win together as teammates in Sunday's race.<BR> <BR> "I'm really happy, this is my first time here," said Dumas. "I really like this track. It is not an easy track. It has a European style and the track is not as bumpy. It is quite easy to learn. The track is a lot smoother than most American tracks, most tracks in Europe are very smooth. Not too say American tracks are bad, they just require different driving styles. I was talking to my friend, (CART driver) Sebastian Bourdais, who I used to race with, and he was telling me that you have to adapt your driving style to drive here in the States. Tracks are longer here; they are much shorter in Europe, that is why I like this course, it's not so long."<BR> <BR> The other Job car driven by Jorg Bergmeister and Timo Bernhard qualified second, with third on the grid going to the Petersen Motorsports/White Lightning Porsche of Craig Stanton and David Murry.<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>
