Philip Ellis
Winward Racing
Claims GTD Win for Winward
Ellis said he went "all in" for the GTD victory in Sunday's Michelin GT Challenge at Virginia International Raceway following a strategic call by Winward Racing in the closing stages of the race, sportscar365.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ellis would be in complete control of the GT class Sunday at VIR, but would have to pit with 8 minutes to go for a quick splash of fuel. He would lose the lead on pit road but charge back in front by passing the No. 27 Heart of Racing Aston Martin to reclaim the lead in the closing laps. It was the team's second victory of the season.
