Braun & Brains with CORE’s Canadian 1-2

July 21, 2012

Despite initially qualifying 1st and 3rd today at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, the championship leading CORE autosport team will actually start 1-2 tomorrow after local hero Kyle Marcelli’s fastest time was disallowed.

Marcelli’s fastest time was disallowed after he was accused of blocking RSR Racing’s Bruno Junqueira – promoting Ryan Dalziel to second place.

Dalziel is driving with PC championship leader Alex Popow this weekend while Braun will again team up with team owner Jon Bennett – the pair winning the past two ALMS rounds.

“All the guys at CORE autosport did a great job with this car,” Braun said.

“I had a good lap there but I think I could’ve gone even faster had that red flag not come out.  But it’s great to get my first career ALMS pole position and setting a new track record, especially against guys that consider Canadian Tire Motorsport Park their home track.

“I’ve got to hand it to Gary and the guys for giving me a fast car and letting me really go at it during qualifying and do my thing.  And Jon has continued to do an incredible job as my co-driver and setting up the car for a great pace.

“As a team, we just keep executing.  Our whole goals is to win the championship and the easiest way to do that is win races.  At this point after Jon and I have won two in a row it could’ve been a situation where the guys could let up off the gas a little, but that’s now how this team works.

“They’re always working hard and making us faster, which is why I love being a part of this team.”
