Not only does Patron Highcroft Racing have consecutive ALMS victories to celebrate, but this week they also have lit the candles and decorated the birthday cake for one of their drivers. Marino Franchitti, Highcroft’s third driver, turned 32 on Wednesday, July 7, and the Highcroft crew enjoyed toasting – and perhaps roasting – their Scottish star pilot.

More pictures from Marino’s birthday festivities along with the rest of Friday’s photos from Miller Motorsports Park captured by ace photographer Rick Dole can be found in the “Galleries” section of michelinracingusa.com.
