Sadly, we had to serve a drive-through penalty for the contact in turn one with the No. 77. Apparently having a dinosaur that likes to nibble doesn’t get you off the hook. We’ve rejoined in P6.

Fun fact: no one a part of the livery process had ever heard of Spyro, due to spending entire childhoods at race tracks. It wasn’t until the fans made the connection that those involved had to google it.
"They,
@AORacingUSA
, basically made Spyro into a racecar,"
@HannahNewhouse
.
Hadn't thought about it, but, you're right.

It’s our first incident on another car since our team began, and it was in the craziest several-car battle the series has seen in a while and on the bumpiest track. We had the pace and accidentally bumped a slower car.
We’re owning it & have a sense of humor about it. Lighten up

Accidents happen, and we take comfort in the fact that the armchair experts would not have been able to make it thru one turn of those last two laps.
We don’t endorse violence of any kind. Please reconsider your language.
If you can’t have a sense of humor, at least be kind.
@AORacingUSA
You should take a look into some IMSA and ALMS history before you go getting too uppity or Ask Viper and Asten Martin. Corvette Racing is comfortable with violence and better at it.
