Steve White, Keith Faver, Bill Riddell, Wayne Wilkerson and Jack Baldwin All Winners in Dual Enduro Weekend

BRASELTON, Georgia (July 28, 2014) – Five different drivers in four different Porsches won races this past weekend at Road Atlanta where Round 3 of The Stuttgart Cup™ and Mission Foods GT3 Cup Trophy USA championships featured twin Enduros on Saturday and Sunday, July 26 – 27.

Taking top honors and all of the Mission Foods GT3 Cup first-place trophies was Steve White who swept that class and scored the overall victories in both the Saturday and Sunday 75-minute Enduros.

White, driving his No. 39 2010 Porsche 997 Cup car, shared the GT3 podium in both races with the husband-and-wife duo of fellow Floridians Johnny and Terry Gray.

Johnny Gray, the well-known drag racer, finished second in his No. 31 2013 Porsche 997 Cup car while his wife, Terry, who was making her auto racing debut, made the most of her first start with third-place showings in both races at the wheel of her No. 60 2011 Porsche 997.

The Cayman competitors in The Stuttgart Cup accounted for all four of the weekend’s additional winners.

Keith Faver was first to strike and won Saturday’s opening enduro in his blue No. 25 Cayman S that runs a livery inspired by the famous Gulf/Wyer Porsche 917s. Faver edged runner-up Bill Riddell and third-place finisher Dominique LeQueux, who had another successful race at Road Atlanta after making his Stuttgart Cup debut at the track this past April in The Mitty. LeQueux races the No. 30 Cayman S themed after the MOMO Porsche 935 and 962 race cars.

In Sunday’s enduro, Riddell turned the tables and picked up the class victory in his black and white striped No. 05 Cayman S that is themed after the Porsche 918 Spyder prototype race car. Faver was second while LeQueux again filled the third spot on the podium.

Stuttgart Cup Cayman competition also produced a repeat winner in the Pro-Am duo of debuting series driver Wayne Wilkerson and his professional co-driver and coach Jack Baldwin. Driving the Darrell Fancher-owned yellow and red striped No. 139 Cayman S, which is inspired by the “Psychedelic” Martini Porsche 917K, Wilkerson and Baldwin took class honors in both the Saturday and Sunday races. They shared the podium with Matt Dicken who was second in Pro-Am each day in his No. 207 silver and black Cayman S.

Open to Porsche Caymans and Boxsters, The Stuttgart Cup™ has grown rapidly in just its second season of competition. Partnering with Mission Foods GT3, which has been a fixture on classic and historic race weekends for the last several seasons, was an ideal collaboration that has attracted strong competitor interest after debuting this past April at The Mitty.

This year’s remaining Stuttgart Cup/Mission Foods GT3 rounds include Pocono Raceway, August 14 – 17, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, September 19 – 21, and what have become the traditional season-ending races at Savannah Hutchinson Island (October 24 – 26), Daytona International Speedway (November 12 – 16) and Sebring International Raceway (December 4 – 7).
