Two years ago, Filipe Albuquerque executed a spectacular pass at Road America, propelling the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Acura to victory and keeping the team in the title race. Now, returning to the circuit with championship hopes dashed, Albuquerque is solely focused on winning, stating “It’s definitely a win or nothing” mentality. Sitting 380 points behind championship leaders, the team’s chances are slim, needing pole positions and race victories to bridge the gap. Despite the odds, Albuquerque remains hopeful, acknowledging the need for luck to turn in their favor. He expresses willingness to sacrifice personal wins to assist teammates if it ultimately benefits the team and manufacturer. In a season focused on individual triumphs, only victory holds value for Albuquerque and Taylor at this point.
