Infineon Raceway Like Home to Lester and Lewis
The hills wrap around Sonoma's Infineon Raceway like the grape vines that have made this region of Northern Calif. famous. Within those hills hides not only the secret of making great wine, but also great wins. On August 23, Southard Motorsports will attempt to break the code and earns its first podium of the 2008 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series Daytona Prototype (DP) season at the Armed Forces 250. The Steve and Martha Southard (Powell, Ohio) owned effort holds two career top-three finishes in the series and has led three events this season. However, thus far in '08, the No. 3 Southard Motorsports Lexus-Riley has been hit by a number of late-race gremlins that drivers Bill Lester (Atlanta) and Shane Lewis (Jupiter, Fla.) look to overcome during Saturday's race of 250- mile or two hour and 45-minute, whichever comes first.
