ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (7 August 2021)<\/strong> \u2013 Making his first start at Road America in a GT-type sports car, Gilbert Korthoff Motorsports\u2019 Shane Lewis quickly got up to speed by qualifying 10th for Sunday\u2019s IMSA Sportscar Weekend at Road America.<\/p>\n

Lewis turned a lap of 2:09.990-seconds, battling tricky weather conditions on the historic four-mile circuit in the No. 32 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo co-driven by Guy Cosmo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have liked to have done better, but I\u2019m happy with P-10 considering everything that\u2019s been going on,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cWe got to the grid just in the nick of time. We have been working to get our setup right. We went out there on slick tires, and unfortunately rain came on my hot lap. I managed to get a lap in, and that was good enough for P-10.<\/p>\n

With IMSA\u2019s new twin-tier qualifying for the GTD class, Lewis\u2019 lap set the team\u2019s position on the starting grid. Cosmo then went out for a second 15-minute session, which awards points for GTD competitors. Since the team is not racing for the championship, Cosmo recorded a lap of 2:19.128-seconds and parked the Mercedes.<\/p>\n

The two-hour, 40-minute race takes the green flag at 1:40 p.m. on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Road America race will be streamed live on NBC Sports Gold Trackpass on Sunday, beginning at 1:40 p.m. The event will be televised that evening on NBCSN, with a three-hour broadcast beginning at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
