"The snake has been bitten in Texas! This is just awesome. Thanks to all of the guys. We1re going to savor this one. This has been a long time in coming," said driver, Ron Fellows. "This is a track that no one had been to so we thought it was going to be a straight up fight, and the guys just had a tremendous effort. The Corvette was terrific, the limiting factor was just Andy and I surviving and we managed. This feels awesome.
"The Corvette was flawless, it was just a matter of survival. I actually had to hold my breath at times because the air was so hot to breathe, Fellows added. " Andy did a terrific job going one and a half stints, and then I got in at the end and we had a nice comfortable lead. The Corvette team has come close a few times, and we1ve shown we had the speed this year. Five or ten more minutes of rain and we would1ve won at Mosport, so maybe this is a little payback for those 3/10ths of a second."
"We look happy, don't we? The GM Racing guys, GM Goodwrench, Goodyear, Pratt & Miller, everyone involved, this has been an incredible two years in the making. What can I say?" asked Any Pilgrim. "Ron did a phenomenal job. I've really enjoyed driving with him. He's a total professional, an excellent driver, and I1m just happy to have driven with him these two races, here and at Mosport. "This probably wouldn't mean so much if the Vipers hadn't been so good I mean they're the world champions and have raised the bar, and we would raise it higher, so it means that much more to have beaten them on an even playing field where no one had been before. It couldn1t be better. I used to live here in Texas, so it's nice to come back here and win."
