Competition Motorsports Continues Podium Streak at Road America

Elkhart Lake, Wis. – Competition Motorsports continued their run of strong performances in Round 11 of the IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge presented by Yokohama by adding two more podiums to their streak at the end of the first of the busy three-race weekend at Road America.

Competition Motorsports started the weekend off with an excellent qualifying effort as Michael Lewis claimed pole position and saw Calvert-Jones score not only his best qualifying position of the season, but also top the Masters Class qualifiers.

For the first race, Michael Lewis led the charge in his No. 98 Competition Motorsports/Curb-Agajanian Porsche 911 as he drove home to a second place finish in Platinum Class competition, marking his fourth podium of the season.

The 45-minute sprint race was cut even shorter when an incident on the first lap turned the flag yellow for 15 minutes. Contact from the incident also put Blair Chang and his No. 9 The Agency/Competition Motorsports Porsche 911 out of the race early.

In the No. 02 Affinity Motorsports/TLI/Competition Motorsports Porsche 911, Fred Poordad quickly jumped up the order at the start and then maintained pace throughout, fighting hard to steer clear of multiple incidents and caution periods to bring home a solid 10th place result.
