MONTEREY, CA (Wednesday, May 10, 2023) — Winners of the two most recent IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship races, Paul Miller Racing rolls into WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca as GTD championship leaders.
Co-drivers Madison Snow and Bryan Sellers hold a 99-point lead in the standings following wins at the renowned 12 Hours of Sebring and Grand Prix of Long Beach.
Driving aboard their No. 1 Quartz Engine Oil-backed BMW M4 GT3 machine, Snow and Sellers scored a fourth-place finish at Laguna Seca last year. The duo previously scored a podium at Laguna Seca together in 2021—finishing second—while Bryan Sellers scored the win in 2019 alongside co-driver Corey Lewis.
“It’s been an amazing year so far. I can’t overstate how proud I am of this entire team for the results we’ve had,” Paul Miller Racing team owner, Paul Miller, said.
“WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca has been an up-and-down track for us. We’ve won and podiumed there, but we’ve also struggled.
“It’s a difficult race to set the car up for because of the low-grip surface. But hopefully, luck continues to be on our side, and we can roll our start-of-year momentum into a good result in Monterey.”
The Course de Monterey at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca weekend begins Friday, May 12 at 4:05 PM PT. The two-hour, 40-minute race goes green Sunday, May 14, at 12:10 PM PT (3:10 PM ET). The entirety of the event will air on NBC Network television, as well as stream on NBC Peacock for subscribers.
Madison Snow
“We return to Laguna once again. We were hoping for a track repave, and I know the track has been working hard on that. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate with them, and we’re racing on the same surface as last year. This makes Laguna a particularly interesting track for strategy and setup, as there is very little grip right now. It’s definitely a different challenge, but one we are looking forward to.”
Bryan Sellers
“I’m very excited to head to Laguna. It’s a beautiful area. I’m really looking forward to the difficulties Laguna poses. The high tire degradation always brings a lot of strategy differences and fuel savings. Thankfully for us, our team is really strong at strategy races, and hopefully, we can leverage that to get another good result here.”
