DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.—The Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge is known for highly competitive racing and the 2015 season opening BMW Performance 200 at Daytona International Speedway Friday went far to maintain that reputation.
With 25 Grand Sport and 31 Street Tuner entries, there were car s al over the 3.56-mile Daytona road course, drafting on the banking and trying bravely to outbrake one another in the tight turns of the infield.
After two-and-a-half collision-free hours of racing, it was the Plumb brothers, Hugh and Matt, in the #13 Rum Bum Racing Porsche 911 leading the GS field, followed closely by the two Stevenson Racing Camaros, while the ST win went to Spencer Pumpelly and Luis Rodriguez, Jr. in the #17 RSI Porsche Cayman, after a lengthy battle with teammate Adam Isman in the #18 RSI Cayman and Eric Foss in the #56 Murillo Racing Cayman.
