traffic. It is hard to pass here as well. I had a good stint, avoided problems, and ran strong."
Alex Job, team owner, has his team strategizing for the championship.
"We thought it would be a challenge coming in here with it being Leh's first time at Mosport," Job said. "He did a great job, did his homework and was able to get up to speed in a hurry. He took a conservative approach to qualifying, which was the right thing to do. With his limited laps here we may have been one adjustment behind the other guys, but we knew in the race things would be different. He had a run on the TRG car, but used his head and backed off. We made a big gain in the points today, and we are heading to some strong tracks for both Cooper and Leh."
The team will travel to central Ohio for the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Challenge to be run Aug. 2-4.
The American Le Mans Series Mobil 1 Grand Prix of Mosport at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park will be run July 20 - 22. The television broadcast will be joined live July 22 at 1:00 pm EDT on ESPN 2, with full race live streaming starting at 11:45 am EDT on ESPN3.com.
