Andrew Longe: “I am very happy with our qualifying result in my first ever qualifying session in the Continental Tire Sports Car Series here at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. I believe our BMW M3 will be great for the race tomorrow and we are looking forward to a strong finish. Ryan (engineer) and Shelby and the Fall-Line team worked countless hours to help me get acclimated to the car and track after experiencing them both for the first time on Wednesday morning. We have a strong racecar and these are long races in which keeping your nose clean is crucial. I’m really looking forward to my first CTSC race!”
