Scott Pruett and Max
Papis ; CompUSA Chip Ganassi Racing, Lexus Riley
PAPIS: "... I'm overwhelmed ... It's really
special driving for an organization like Chip Ganassi. Three weeks
ago we decided we wanted to get help from the third car and we
did it perfectly winning the race and the Championship. We are
Champions and it is a special day in my life"
PRUETT: "... We had teamwork all season
long. It's nice to win, even sweeter to have a championship. I
felt he was sending me out too soon. We pulled out and I immediately
stopped and luckily we didn't have any damage. Fortunately for
us, our car was superb. I ran a fast, conservative pace ... I
just can't say enough for the Chip Ganassi guys. For the team
it was nerve wracking coming into this last race, separated only
by three points, that's pretty awesome competition."
GANASSI (Chip Ganassi): "... Winning the
race, in order to win a championship that isn't decided until
the last race of the season, makes it even more gratifying. I
was as nervous as anyone heading into this race. This has been
an incredible battle all season long. I've had a lot of fun and
really enjoyed it. To win our first Rolex Grand American Sports
Car Series championship in just our first season is very special"
