American GT: Sebring Round 5 News
By Tony Febles, American GT

Race 1

Sebring, Fla (August 11, 2007) – Jordan Bupp won the first of two races of the AGTRRA Inter-Americas Challenge Round 5 at Sebring International Raceway. Jordan Bupp, who is leading the Rookie of the year Championship, had the fastest race lap, let the must laps and is the first rookie ever to win an American GT race. “I was very excited about this event from day one, since I know the track and the car was set up perfectly by Pierre and the crew.” said Jordan Bupp when ask about his win. “We also consider Sebring our home track, our shop is just a couple of hour from here and I have driven this course many times.” Jordan added.

Second place was Edison Lluch Sr., who sat on the pole but only led one lap, “Jordan had a great run, his car was really fast and he drove a very intelligent race, but as uncle Yuyo says: ‘Tomorrow is another day.’ and I will try my best as always” said Lluch Sr. referring to Sunday’s race. Sr. is second in the Inter-Americas Championship and third in the Southeast points, will no doubt regain both championships when the weekend is over. Edison Jr. did not finish the event and will not be able to start tomorrow since he crashed in turn 17 trying to pass for the lead.

Kenny Bupp, who is currently third in the standings, started forth on the grid, was second for while and finished third. Kenny was probably the happiest competitor in the podium, not only he had a great run, but Jordan – his son – won the race.
