He was just a little bit quicker through the Dipper, enough to open up a car length or two and deny the passing opportunity. Awesome.

The elevation change on that course is 575 feet. Massive. Laguna Seca has 180'.

In case you missed it the first time, I've been told the race will play on SPEED Sun Oct 14 @ 11:00pm ET. It's a bit over 6 hours, I don't know if it's going to be edited down or not.
