Gurney, Fogarty enjoy victory in Birmingham

By Nancy Knapp Schilke at Motorsport.com

"It was a late dash between two of the top Grand-Am Rolex Series teams in the final 20 minutes of today's race at Barber Motorsports Park. Not only were they going for the win but in the long run, the two teams are aiming for the championship at season end.

"A late caution set the scene with Alex Gurney in the No. 99 Bob Stallings Racing Pontiac Riley and Scott Pruett in the No. 01 Chip Ganassi Racing Lexus Riley for the eighth race of the 2009 season.

"We didn't want to see that last yellow," said Gurney. "We had a great strategy that kept us out front and our car was good enough to win. So it was a great day."
