Slipstream - March 2019

clean job in the pits. We’ve got a really great foundation
to build on moving forward.”
Adversity struck for the first time here as the right
rear wheel became dislodged as Campbell exited pit lane
which led to the #73 Porsche GT3R losing several laps on
the leaders. As the race continued, through strategy and
pace the team of drivers and crew recovered to get the car
back on the lead lap by the time the sun was coming up
on Sunday morning! Boulle, Lindsey, Campbell and Long
all felt positive as the race wound down despite red flags
and uncharacteristically heavy rain.
Long and Campbell, spent the majority of their time
in the car searching for any sign of grip on the track in
the final hours of the race. A combination of oil and
water sent multiple competitors off track, into walls
and each other. Long barely escaped a multicar pileup,
maneuvering the #73 through turns 10 and 11. Campbell
steered clear of any on-track drama and made his way to
the front of the field.
Boulle and Lindsey handled a majority of the driving
Saturday and Saturday night. The race compiled 18 fullcourse
cautions in total, nine of which Lindsey and Boulle
endured over the course of their stint. Both drivers kept
the #73 de Boulle Porsche clean and turning consistent
lap times while fighting to earn laps back.
With two hours remaining and hours of hard work by
the drivers and a sleepless night for the crew, the #73
Park Place Motorsports de Boulle Porsche 911 GT3R was
leading the pack around the Daytona Road Course. As
the rain began to fall more heavily, the team opted to in
hopes of coming out ahead as the race wound down and
go for the top step of the podium. However, just as the pit
sequence began a red flag was thrown due to the flooded
conditions of the race track. After waiting for two hours
on an update from the officials on, it was determined that
the 57th running
of the Rolex
24 At Daytona
would finish
under red.
“It obviously
is heartbreaking
to pit from the
lead and lose out
on winning the
Rolex 24 Hours
of Daytona, but it’s a big year and we just need to focus
forward now.”
Boulles next race is at Sebring International Raceway for
the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by
Advanced Auto Parts. “I’m looking forward to the 12
Hours of Sebring and seeing what we can do,” said Boulle.
The weekend is part of a Super Sebring weekend featuring
the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and FIA
World Endurance Championship. Lindsey will race in
both the traditional 12-hour race Saturday, March 16, and
the FIA 1,000 miles of Sebring Friday, March 15, with
Project 1, both supported by Park Place Motorsports.
