Jaminet, Tandy Win 'Big' Indy With IMSA Title Shot
Jamine took the lead from the beginning of the sixth entry, squeezing the sister seven and leading in the opening corner, but then Porsche lost its edge as the GTP carefully split from the GT vehicle, failing to follow instructions in a timely manner. However, as the challenge of Cadillac in Action Express Racing, which eventually took the lead, faded, they took the lead again. In the end, the decisive factor between Porsche was Felipe Nasr's out-wrapping error at No. 7 after the last pitstop, which made the difference in the first race at IMSA in 2014 and led Tandy to jump in and claim victory at his boss's house. It's double because this is Indianapolis - it's a world-famous historical site, and the IMSA series is a world-famous historical race series," said Tandy, who won his 20th career IMSA. "So, it's very big to come to a place like this, especially for Porsche Penske Motorsports. And all the ties that the Penske Company has with this place is enormous. "That means a huge amount. And the fact that it's a 1-2 team makes it sweeter. From a manufacturer's championship point of view, it's huge. Obviously, the second part of this is a point situation and it's going to be the second round. "I said before the weekend that I really need to win here to make it to Rod Atlanta. And it eventually gave us a chance. The teamwork that gave the people who work on this team a chance to win Atlanta is amazing. "I'm really happy to cross the brick field. It was a moving moment." Penske, the 86-year-old team owner, greeted his two winners after the race, saying, "Good job." The result marks the second win of the year for Jaminette and Tandy, who won the street championship at Long Beach in April. However, according to the team, the crew lost another victory in Six Hours at The Glen due to excessive wear and tear, which violated the rules with the front skid plate "less than a millimeter." Now they're just five points behind point leaders Pipo Derani and Alexander Sims, leading #31AXR Cadillac, heading into the season finale in Rod Atlanta. "I've been very disappointed since Watkins Glen," Jaminet admitted, "and it still hurts in retrospect." "So, finally getting the win back and it feels really good, to get us back to the championship hunt. To be honest, I'm just hungry for more.
