Maybe it's my years of road racing experience, but working the traffic really helped me today. I was running fourth at one point, and when we came up on traffic, I think I read what was going to happen and passed two guys in one move.

I think that a switch might have shut off when I hit the bump in Turn 5. By the time I figured out what had happened, a bunch of cars went by.

The traffic was really dicey. We were having a great battle with the Porsche, Andy and I did everything we could to try and get back up to the front. They ran a good race. The car is good, but in 24 hour races you have to have things go your way.

Personally I like the hype. This is really the best of the best: Europe's best taking on America's best. Both teams are very strong and hungry. The fans I know are in for a treat.
