#426 Lincoln driven by Tom Overbaugh finished 2nd in class.
#421 THE LUCKY TACO finished 3rd in class!!!
I was told the #433 Ford of Carson Scheller was probably going to be repaired and back into tomorrow's race. Carson fell back to 74th place but based on absolute times from day 3 I believe Carson is still in 2st place in class.

I received a report that when the #374 Corvette crashed over a hillside Co-Piloto Lee-Ann Strelzow was injured primarily due to the fact that she did not have her chin strap fastened. I do not know the extent of her injuries however minor/major they may be but lets all wish her a swift recovery.

#291 Alfa Romeo won 1st in class and 11th overall.
#290 Volvo of Apple Farmer racing placed 2nd in class and 18th overall.
#281 Porsche placed 1st in class. This is the same car that crashed yesterday and they had to epoxy a hole in their transfer case to make it.
