Mike Shank: 'A lot of nasty things were said about my team, my partner, my family' after the Rolex penalties.'
Meyer Shank Racing's Acura ARX-06 won the IMSA Weathertech SportsCar Championship GTP race from the pole at the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada.The second-place finish at Mosport left the Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Autosport looking for its first GTP victory of the season.
“This was a little bit of redemption,” said Shank, who fired his chief engineer once IMSA found an illegal bypass of its telemetry for monitoring minimum pressure in the Michelin tires, regulated for all teams. Renger van der Zande was nudged off entering Turn 8 by the No. 24 BMW M Hybrid V8. The driver, who had a huge crash at Spa, again walked away, this time following a head-on collision with a tire barrier at nearly racing speed. Augusto Farfus was penalized by IMSA for avoidable contact with a drive through penalty.
While the question of avoidable contact hung in the air and the JR III team threw its arms into the air along the nearby pit road during their driver’s agricultural expedition into the grass, no penalty was forthcoming as the race clock wound down.
