P6 for the #61
Solid outing for Mark and Brian... and points

2008.04.27: (16:35 ET)

There might be a bit of disappointment under the AIM Autosport tent, but the mood is good after an outing that brought the team some valuable points. The #61 Ford Riley ran strong all weekend and was in the battle right from the start of today's race. If not for some late race incidents that saw Mark having to come in for a stop-and-go penalty, a podium was in sight. We will have a full report and comments from the drivers a bit later.

The Bosch Engineering 250 from Virginia International Raceway will be broadcast May 3rd on Speed TV (time TBA)

Brian would take the car to P3 in qualifying this afternoon. He had some clear track early and sit P1 mid way through the session.

Qualifying ended with the AIM Autosport Exchange Traded Gold #61 Ford Riley on row two but a technical infraction by the pole sitter would allow the #61 to move to the outside of row 1.
