Spirit of Daytona Racing set a new high in the development program for the Porsche-powered FABCAR by scoring sixth in qualifying for the GAINSCO Grand Prix on Friday as Guy Cosmo set a fast lap time of 1:14.043-seconds at Homestead Miami Speedway. The third row start marks the best qualifying result in the short history of the Porsche-powered FABCAR Daytona Prototype package, which is set for a third outing in Rolex Sports Car Series competition on Saturday afternoon.

After 24 hours and over 2,300 miles of intense racing competition at the World Center of Speed, the No. 09 Spirit of Daytona Porsche-powered Fabcar crossed the Daytona International Speedway finish line just after 1:30 PM on Sunday morning to take tenth in the Daytona Prototype class.
