Find out how veteran drivers Mark Wilkins and Michael Lewis lead the charge on episode 4 of Pole Position: Next Level. http://www.bryanhertaautosport.com/pole-position-next- level QUOTES: #98 Mark Wilkins: “It has been a great season thus far and with three races to go we certainly don’t need to reinvent the wheel. If we keep doing what we’ve been doing, we should be right up front and fighting for the win! VIR will be hot and humid and we're likely to see some rain; much like we’ve experienced at most races to date. Our Veloster N TCR is well suited to the technical nature of the circuit and after strong runs at VIR last season I know the car will be great right off the trailer. After Mason and Harry’s big win at Road America, the Veloster N TCR has secured three wins so far this season. Moving forward, it’s all about maximizing points. The car has been working so well for us; it inspires confidence which is hugely important in the uphill Esses at VIR. It should be a great weekend!” Highlight of the Season so far: “We’ve had a number of great races this season! For me the highlight was the first win at Mid-Ohio…Michael drove the wheels off the car in some very tough conditions. It was a nail biter finish and one I’ll remember for a long time as it was the first Veloster N TCR win in IMSA competition.” Best personal performance this year: “As far as best personal performance of the year so far, I’d say Lime Rock Park. It was a physically demanding race in the heat, threading the needle through GS traffic and with plenty of TCR pressure from behind. It’s always a tough event but we came away with the team’s first double podium of the season!” #98 Michael Lewis: "We get to go racing at Virginia International Raceway this weekend, and as a driver, I enjoy racing there. It is a difficult track, tough to be ‘good’ there, and for that reason, I like it. Every time I race at VIR, it is a challenge to be perfect, especially with tricky corners like the T4 through T6 complex and the Hog Pen section at the end. Oak tree is tricky as well! Because of some unique sections that make the track challenging, I really enjoy racing here and I really enjoy the challenge of mastering the tricky sections. Mark, myself, and our Bryan Herta Autosport team will do our best to be at the front of the field in our Hyundai Veloster N TCR. I really love racing the Veloster N TCR as it handles so well in the turns and because it has been prepared so well by our team. I am proud of the effort and hard work put forth by our team to prepare and tune our race cars for each weekend. Having confidence in the race car from the first session, knowing that our car has been inspected and prepared well at the shop, is something that I really enjoy and respect. Knowing that our Veloster N is ready to go in terms of set up and function in the first session is a great feeling. It allows Mark and I to focus on developing the car and to attack the course! Thank you to the team for their hard work to prepare the cars and for the fast pit stops on pit lane! If you are attending the race this weekend, please visit our Bryan Herta Autosport tent to view our Hyundai Veloster N TCR race cars and visit us on pit lane before the race for the pre- race ceremonies!" #21 Harry Gottsacker: “VIR is one of the most scenic tracks we go to and it’s a real iconic American road course. VIR was one of the first road course tracks I learned on when I started in sports cars. My last visit to VIR was a rough one, but I’m looking forward to continuing our championship fight in the Veloster N TCR. We are coming off our first win at Road America and have a lot of momentum. The car keeps getting better every weekend that we are at the track and I’m looking forward to being back with the BHA guys this weekend.” Highlight of the season so far: “The best moment of the season has been the win at Road America. It was in front of a bunch of my family and friends and was super special to me. We have also had strong runs at Watkins Glen and Lime Rock which I’m also proud of.” #21 Mason Filippi: “I am super excited to take the #21 Hyundai Veloster N TCR around VIR! I love the uphill Esses and the Veloster will be very strong there. It is a fun track and the fans are great. I know Bryan Herta Autosport is going to do an amazing job, we’ve had a great season so far, and coming off our recent victory at Road America is especially inspiring. It has been very cool developing my own driving and learning from such great teammates and team every weekend we are at the track; it is a great influence on my driving and overall track knowledge.” Highlight of the season so far: “My favorite moment in the car this season was the start at Mid-Ohio. It was a wild start and we took many positions not only in our class but in the GS class as well.” Best personal performance this year: “I can’t pin-point for myself what my best personal performance this season has been, but as a driver being on a great team, I have been able to grow and develop confidence every weekend starting at Daytona. One area of my driving I have always struggled with before this season was qualifying. This year Mark and Michael have both given me tips and calmed me down before going out to qualify, and I’ve seen a big improvement in my qualifying this year! I am very thankful for the opportunity to be with a great team this season!” About Bryan Herta Autosport: Founded in 2009, Bryan Herta Autosport has grown from a single car Indy-Lights team into a championship winning auto racing franchise.

    RaceRace ReportReport Argent Mortgage Indy 300 - Kansas Speedway — July 4, 2004 RICE, MEIRA LEAD RAHAL LETTERMAN RACING 1-2 FINISH IN ARGENT INDY 300 WITH 2ND CLOSEST FINISH IN IRL HISTORY Pioneer/Argent Honda Nips Centrix Honda By .0051 seconds Sunday In Superb Race With Teammates KANSAS CITY , KAN. — It was the greatest race in Rahal Letterman Racing history and only one guy knew who won while some 55,000 other witnesses weren’t sure Sunday in the Argent Mortgage Indy 300 at Kansas Speedway. That one guy just happened to be the winner as he raised his fist after crossing the finish line. Buddy Rice seemed to be the only one who knew that his No. 15 Pioneer/Argent Mort- gage Honda G-Force had nipped his team- mate Vitor Meira’s No. 17 Team Centrix Honda G-Force at the checkered flag in one of the greatest side-by-side finishes ever. It took a few seconds before the Rahal Let- terman Racing crews and the screaming racing fans knew who was the winner Sun- day in the second closest IRL IndyCar® Series finish ever, just 0.0051 seconds separated the teammates in a spectacular duel that had the fans and the pit lane on their feet for the final 14 laps. The 1-2 finish for the Ohio-based racing squad was only the second time the team had collected the top two posi- tion in an open-wheel race. The other 1-2 finish for Rahal Letterman Racing came on Sept. 15, 2001 in Germany in the Champ Car event when Kenny Brack and Max Papis scored the first and second place finishes.

  • Elantra Wins at Mid-Ohio, Leads Hyundai 1-2 Finish Behind The
    Elantra Wins at Mid-Ohio, Leads Hyundai 1-2 Finish Lexington, OH (May 15, 2021) –Hyundai’s newest race car, the Elantra N TCR scored its first IMSA victory, just three races into the 2021 season at Mid- Ohio, it also was the first win of the season for Bryan Herta Autosport (BHA) w/Curb Agajanian and Hyundai. The Elantra N TCR is the racing version of the 2021 North American Car of the Year, the Hyundai Elantra. The #98 Elantra N TCR started third with Parker Chase behind the wheel. Racing for his first TCR victory, Chase passed for second on the start and challenged the No. 19 Van der Steur Racing Hyundai Veloster for the first half of the race, battling for the lead on several occasions. Chase made the pass just before the full-course caution halfway through the two-hour race on the rolling hills of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. “It was a blast out there chasing that Veloster for the lead. It’s great to get the first Elantra win for Hyundai Motor America and Bryan Herta Autosport,” said Chase. “I had a good rookie season last year with a lot of podiums in the Veloster, but it really feels good to get the win, and I think there will be more with this Elantra N TCR, it is a great race car.” The #98 crew took advantage of the mid-race caution to service the Elantra with four tires, fuel and to execute the mandatory driver change. Ryan Norman, a native of Aurora, Ohio and the 2020 IMPC Champion took the reins and rejoined the race in second behind the #27 Hyundai Veloster of Copeland Motorsports.

Another celebrity divorce is soon to be in the books, as Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have called it quits. According to UsMagazine.com, the couple is breaking up after an impressively long Hollywood romance of 11 years together. They were married for five years and have two children together, Noah and Bodhi. Fox and Green spoke numerous times about the highs and lows of parenthood, even once saying that the most important part of a relationship and love life is to “respect each other as parents”. Ironically, Fox told reporters in August 2014, “I don’t want to be boastful and say that we would never divorce, but I can’t imagine a scenario we couldn’t work through…” This Hollywood couple joined the ranks of celebrity break-ups this summer. What are some ways to balance parenting with your relationship? Cupid’s Advice: Even Hollywood couples aren’t immune to the struggles of parenthood, so when you feel overwhelmed, it’s helpful to remember you’re not alone. Everyone wants to have it all, so Cupid has some tips to help you live a more harmonious life: 1. Family activities: An easy fix to balancing time between your lover and children is to combine the time you have with each and host a family outing. Heading to the zoo, traveling to an amusement park or having a picnic are all perfect ideas that the whole family can have fun with.

  • Fishing Reports
    Weekly Fishing Reports Ebb & Flow Week 11 ~ August 12, 2016 August 12, 2016 By Deepwater Don Anytime somebody rings the bell on a plus-forty-pound fish, it’s a pretty big deal. Well, Paul Sczeny, congratulations to you and to guide Bradan James for not only bringing this one in, but for also setting a new season-high for The Outpost. Paul and Bradan encountered this hog at a place simply known as Fishhook – don’t ask me exactly where that is friends but suffice to say it’s less than 10 minutes from the lodge – and at first thought they had hooked into a Shark. But after a long thrash of a fight that spooled the line down to the backing, the deal was done. * Hard to beat the feeling of arriving at the lodge! The trick was even more impressive when one considers the constant wind that battered anglers all over Haida Gwaii last week. At the risk of sounding overly promotional, I have to say one of the many advantages that the lodges of The West Coast Fishing Club hold over others is the close proximity to the best fishing areas. Nothing is very far from home base, and that makes a huge difference when battling waves and elements to get to where you want to go. That is particularly true at Langara Island, which has numerous leeward spots where anglers can escape winds like the strong northwesterly that blew for several straight days last week. Weather notwithstanding, the guests of both North Island Lodge and The Clubhouse fished merrily on sheltered waters and fared rather well for both Chinook and oodles of Coho over 10 pounds.
