| Homestead Race Notes: Jack Roush Jr. |

Ultimately, he made the call over the radio. "It's getting really slick out here. I'm coming in right now for rain tires and top off the gas tank," he instructed his pit crew on lap 73.
Throughout the exchange of pit stops he fell to 13th, but was able to battle back for an eighth place finish. Because of the length of the cautions, the Grand-Am officials had to enact the 2.5-hour time limit on the event which ended after 87 laps.
Still, at the end of the race Martin seemed pleased. "I thought we had more," he said. "Actually, I know we had more. Once I turned on the defroster and it just didn't work properly I couldn't see much of anything out there. I think if I could have had better visibility we could have had at least one, maybe a couple of more positions."
The No. 59 Rehagen Ford Mustang, based out of Westland, Mich., carries sponsorship from ROUSH Performance, ROUSH Brakes, RacerBargains.com and Piloti. Last season this was the highest-finishing Mustang in the series.
