pole position and led from the green flag to the checkered flag, but also topped the time charts in every single session of the weekend at the home track for Lamborghini Carolinas.<\/p>\nAlton, Virginia (27 August 2017) \u2013 Driving at the team\u2019s home track with scores of family and friends on hand,\u00a0Change\u00a0Racing\u00a0broke through for the organization\u2019s first IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship victory\u00a0on Sunday\u00a0when Jeroen Mul and Corey Lewis delivered a dominant performance at VIRginia International Raceway in Round 10 of the championship.<\/p>\n

The No.16\u00a0Change\u00a0Racing\u00a0XBOX \/ Monster Energy\u00a0\/ Orion\u00a0Lighting\u00a0Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n GT3 not only scored the\u00a0\u00a0pole position and led from the green flag to the checkered flag, but also topped the time charts in every single session of the weekend at the home track for Lamborghini Carolinas.<\/p>\n
The team has shown great promise over the course of the 2017 IMSA season, but has also been on the receiving end of some bad\u00a0racingluck. The stars finally aligned for\u00a0Change\u00a0Racing\u00a0which led to a dramatic and well-deserved victory after leading all of the race\u2019s 92 laps.<\/p>\n
Mul opened the race and extended his winning margin lap after lap to ultimately put 15-seconds over the entire GTD class field.<\/p>\n
The race ran at a furious pace and without a full course caution to slow the field,\u00a0Change\u00a0Racingworked to carry out the perfect strategy. Lewis strapped into the Lamborghini machine with 50 minutes remaining, but it wasn\u2019t clear sailing for the Monster Energy Athlete. He defended masterfully in the closing laps to hold off the hard charging second place No. 96 BMW to take the victory,<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really didn’t do anything differently, everything just finally came together,\u201d said Team Principal Robby Benton. \u201cThe guys have shown that they have speed for two seasons now. Everything just kind of went our way. We led every session and led every lap. There is nothing else that the guys could have done differently. It was a pretty perfect weekend. We couldn’t have scripted it any better because all of our family and friends are here. We’re going to enjoy this!”<\/p>\n

IMSA WEATHERTECH DRIVER QUOTES:<\/strong><\/p>\n Jeroen Mul:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWe have been waiting for a success like this for so long and it took us 10 races to get here. This was our weekend and we hit a straight home run and won every single session. It was way too close for my liking at the end, but Corey (Lewis) did an awesome job bringing it home. Big thanks to\u00a0ChangeRacing\u00a0for preparing such an awesome race car and for the support by all of our partners \u2013 Lamborghini Carolinas, XBOX, Forza, and Orion Lighting.\u201d<\/p>\n Corey Lewis:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWe had an absolutely perfect weekend. Jeroen (Mul) had an amazing opening double stint and he handed the car off to me where we needed to be. I was able to hold off the BMW which was not an easy feat. This was our first victory as a team and the first win for myself which is such an awesome feeling. This is a home race for us and for Lamborghini Carolinas so it was a great victory for everyone.\u00a0That last lap was not as easy as I thought it was going to be but I was able to hold him (No. 96 BMW) off.\u00a0I just can\u2019t thank the team enough for everything they have done for us this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n Change\u00a0Racing\u00a0was also in Lamborghini Super Trofeo action at VIR. The team added Andy Lally to its driver line up as Lally joined Richard Antinucci in the No. 16 Lamborghini. Lally and Antinucci closed out the weekend with a second-place finish in the Pro Class while the sister car driven by Bryce Miller, took two third place finishes in the ProAm class.<\/p>\n Photo Credit: Jamey Price<\/p>\n About:\u00a0<\/strong>Founded in 2013 by successful real estate developer and Lamborghini Carolinas CEO Eddie Littlefield and RAB\u00a0Racing\u00a0NASCAR team owner Robby Benton,\u00a0Change\u00a0Racing\u00a0quickly\u00a0established itself as a\u00a0championship caliber team in IMSA Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo competition.<\/p>\n After earning Team and Driver Championships in 2013, 2014, and 2015, the team grew in 2016 to also campaign in the IMSA WeatherTech\u00a0Championship with the Lamborghini Hurac\u00e0n GT3 in GT Daytona (\u201cGTD\u201d) Class competition.
