In two weeks, the 2015 TUDOR United SportsCar Championship continues its run of classic North American road racing circuits and heads north to Canada for the Mobil-1 Sportscar Grand Prix, July 12 at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Bowmanville, Ontario. Ozz Negri (#60 Michael Shank Racing Ligier-Honda): 'The car was very good and I was quicker than the guys ahead. In the beginning, on slick tires on a wet race track it was pretty hairy. But once we got heat in the tires the car picked up. We had very good speed, but it was hard to move forward—the Daytona Prototype cars were quicker in different places. A few times I tried some bold moves, passing around the outside, but I thought it was a little bit risky and too early for that. At the end of the day, this is racing. These were extremely difficult conditions. It's unfortunate what happened to John (Pew), but it happens in racing. We did the best we could. We had a fast car and that's all we can say. Now we will just look ahead to Mosport, I think that is another opportunity for us to do well and we will want to make the most of it.' John Pew (#60 Michael Shank Racing Ligier-Honda): 'I had an incident with a GTLM car. It wasn't his fault. I was trying to pass in the last corner. I came out right behind him and was accelerating right behind him at the exit curb. I either lost downforce because I was too close to him, or there was a wet spot on the curb. I tapped the wall, which damaged the front left tire. We had to come in for a new nose. It also probably caused the problem with the suspension. The car definitely didn't handle well after that, I was driving with a crooked steering wheel. I was doing the best I could. The team did a great job, these guys did a fantastic job. I feel really bad for the Shank guys, they give it their all and they never complain. It's my mistake. It's part of the business. It happens.'
