Nonnamaker Celebrates First Rolex Series Class Win In SGS
In a dominating performance, Super Grand Sport (SGS) polesitter Wayne Nonnamaker drove the No. 41 ORISON-Planet Earth Motorsports Porsche GT3 Cup nearly flag-to-flag in the lead en route to his first career Rolex Series class victory. Nonnamaker led all but two of the 70 laps and finished one lap ahead of SGS co-points leaders Marc Bunting and Andy Lally in the No. 38 TPC Racing Porsche GT3 Cup.
"I'm pretty tired," Nonnamaker said. "The ORISON-Planet Earth Motorsports Porsche just did an excellent job. The crew did an amazing job on the stops. We've got a good set-up here. We've had success in the Grand-Am Cup, now we've been able to translate that into the Rolex, this is our first win in the Rolex. We're very excited and we're pumped for the rest of the year."
John Littlechild and Spencer Pumpelly co-drove the No. 37 TPC Racing Porsche GT3 Cup to its second-consecutive SGS podium and third of the season with a third place showing, and Joe Nonnamaker-who celebrated his 55th birthday on Thursday-also drove the full, 70-lap distance by himself and finished fourth.
