Conor Flynn will drive the No. 95 FlynnCo Cars \/ Chillout Systems entry in the Porsche Pro class, while Craig Conway pilots the No. 97 Diamond Suzuki Porsche in the Porsche Pro-Am division.<\/p>\n<p>Conway is coming off his best finish of the season, placing a season-best 10th in Pro-Am in the Sunday race at Laguna Seca after finishing 11th on Saturday. Since then, he joined Flynn in a test at the upstate New York circuit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a good test at the Glen, and it was very helpful,\u201d Conway said. \u201cWe learned a lot, and made some changes to the suspension and wing. I felt pretty good.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/wdmp_220429_00328-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Conway\u2019s history at Watkins Glen includes a Rolex Series American GT victory in 2000, driving a Flis Brothers Corvette, in addition to several podiums in the Firestone Firehawk series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems I\u2019ve been going to the Glen forever, and it\u2019s the same track,\u201d Conway said. \u201cThe biggest difference is that it\u2019s much grippier since they paved it a few years ago. The test was my first time there with our new Porsche. I got a little closer every time out, I was learning on every lap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flynn finished 10th in class during Round 2 at Long Beach, but was forced to sit out both races at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca after a practice incident forced him to go from racer to spectator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we get back to Watkins Glen, we\u2019ll be a couple of steps ahead of where we would have been if we didn\u2019t test,\u201d Conway said. \u201cWe also fixed Conor\u2019s car since his accident, and both Porsches are now OK. I think we will be in pretty good shape when we get back to the Glen for the races.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The opening race of the weekend goes green at 1:25 p.m. (all times ET) on Friday.
