The American driver has secured six victories at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) in IMSA prototype cars, with the latest in the #60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06 GTP. CTMP, at 2.459 miles with 10 turns, presents unique challenges for prototype drivers navigating GTD traffic, similar to the short Detroit Street Circuit. During a recent media briefing, he highlighted the high-speed differences between prototypes and GTs, emphasizing the strategic use of long corners at CTMP to pass GT cars. In the upcoming race, he will compete in the #04 Crowdstrike Racing by APR Oreca 07 LMP2 alongside teammate George Kurtz, who is new to racing at CTMP but experienced in LMP2 machinery. They aim for a cohesive approach to navigating traffic, relying on mutual understanding and respect between prototype and GT drivers for clean passes, especially as the race intensifies.
