Mike Johnson Leads TPC Racing to Championship in Rolex SGS
|
Posted (12/01/2004) - Archangel Motorsports Principle Mike Johnson led the Maryland based TPC Racing effort to a Grand American Rolex SGS Team and Driver Championship. The team displayed dominance the entire season. By the time the final race came around at California Speedway all that drivers Andy Lally and Marc Bunting had to do was start the race to claim their Championship. "It was a great season," Bunting said. "Everyone at TPC Racing did a great job. We certainly weren't expecting another podium. We just wanted to get our two laps and win the championship. We were lucky to get the yellow early and do the driver change to get Andy in the car and then get me back in later. It was a great ending to a great season." "The goal coming in here was to get a lap each, that's all we had to do to win," Lally offered. "After that, we just wanted to go all out and go for it. I got the lead early and I turned it over to Marc and he was just flying. It was just a good time. It basically became a nice celebration for two hours and 45 minutes. We enjoyed today. We barely broke a sweat, and we had some fun. I'm looking forward to coming back next year." For Johnson the Championship continued to add to his impressive set of titles he had already claimed. In 2000 and 2001 Johnson led Archangel Motorsports to the SRPII Championships. This also marked the second title of Lally's that Johnson was involved with as Lally's first Rolex title came at the wheel of the Archangel Lola in 2001. |
