ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—Jack Roush Jr. scored his first win in Pirelli World Challenge’s GTS class in the series’ third race of the season, at St. Petersburg, Friday, March 11, but the real race went on behind him.
Roush, who has ten wins in his famous family’s #60 Roush Performance Mustang in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, moved to PWC in 2014 but victory eluded him through his first two seasons. A t St. Pete in the third race of the 2016 season Roush started from the pole and drove away from the field, at one point leading by eight seconds and eventually winning by 2.6 seconds.
While Roush cruised comfortably to the win, the battle behind him started hard and grew increasingly more intense.
