LONG BEACH, Calif. (13 April 2019) –Looking to claim a second consecutive trophy in IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar competition, Whelen Engineering Racing had a nearly perfect BUBBA Burger Sports Car Grand Prix event weekend before a miscue on pit lane cost the team the outcome they had been hoping for.
"First off I have to say that we ended up being lucky on a very unlucky day today,” Derani said. “We need to regroup as a team to understand what happened. I felt like the race was ours today. We had a fantastic car all weekend, but it was damage limitation today once we had the problem.
