I am so lucky to be a small part of the @IMSA family! The Rolex wasn’t what we expected; it was so much more. Bye, Daytona! See ya in 2024. One night at home, a LOT of laundry, repacking, then @Bathurst12hour bound 😁

For context, the 61 had stoped in a dangerous spot and lead pit Official Johnny Knotts signaled that anyone available should help get the car out of the transition lane. I simply helped!
