Butch Leitzinger is “home” at Dyson
When veteran Butch Leitzinger walks into the paddock at Sebring, this year he’ll find it really easy to find his home.
After a few seasons away driving both GTC and PC cars, the American ace is back with Dyson this weekend for the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.
Leitzinger was a full time Dyson driver from 1995 through 2009 and drove the last two races of 2011 for the team. He has thirty-four victories under the Dyson Racing banner, including two wins in the 24 Hours of Daytona.
“We had a test at Sebring a couple of weeks ago, and when I walked into the tent on the first day, it felt like I had never been away,” Leitzinger said.
“There is such a sense of camaraderie among the entire team, and everyone not only pulls their own weight, but chips in to help everyone else. And we all enjoy a good laugh and have a great time together.
“I`m so pleased to be joining Chris and Guy for Sebring. They have done an excellent job in developing the car, and we saw some significant gains at the test, and I think that we can continue on that path. I`m especially happy to be taking part in the P1`s swan song at Sebring.
“I have three second place finishes in the 12 Hour with Dyson Racing. Perhaps we can end the era of big horsepower, big downforce cars with a win.”
