With just under 20 minutes remaining in the Grand-Am KONI Challenge Series ST (Street Tuner) Six Hour Saturday at Virginia International Raceway, the race leading No. 127 Fountain Motorsports BMW 330i of Guy Cosmo had to pit for a splash of fuel. Cosmo rejoined the race in second. Unfortunately, time ran out with Cosmo crossing the finish line 26.154 seconds behind the winners. Cosmo, who won in the same Fountain BMW earlier this year at Iowa Speedway, helped give his co-driver VJ Mirzayan another Grand-Am career-best finish of second after crossing the line in second place at Laguna Seca this past May.
The weekend started off a bit challenging for the No. 127 Fountain Motorsports BMW 330i. The car experienced some handling issues but the crew managed to work with the set-up and make some gains. By qualifying, they had made the progress they were looking for. Had it not been for the shortened session the team surely would have been sitting on the front row. Even then, the No. 127 BMW 300i, just 2 tenths off the pole sitter, qualified in 6th place.
