MINI JCW Team Takes On Road America

MotoringFile covered the MINI JCW Team as it approached Road America this past weekend, round 7 of the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge. Here's a sample:
. . . At Road America we will see the departure of one popular driver and the return of another.

The team parted ways with James Vance who had started the season driving the #52 MINI JCW and recently switched to the #37. It’s really a shame since Vance had done some of his best driving in recent weeks. Mark Pombo returns to the #37 after a three race absence and as practice and qualifying would show, he hasn’t slowed down a bit.

The team showed good speed in both practice sessions, the best of which was the first session. Brothers Mat and Mark Pombo both put up top 10 speeds. Mat Pombo had an excellent lap of 2:31.594 which had him leading most of the practice session and ultimately ending up with the second fastest time. . . .
