Anybody know what happened to the 2 PTG cars at Daytona? I saw the #21 car got up to 3rd in class but now, according to timming and scoring, both cars are retired. :(

The PTG BMWs have been retired. "It's a safety issue. We had two failures wheel stud failures on the #22 car and one on the #21 car," explained the team manager. :rolleyes :(

Just you. They have to have studs/lugnuts this year.

TOM MILNER, DRIVER NO. 22 BMW TEAM PTG M3 - "That was the longest I have spent in the M3 here at Daytona. I played with my lines and think I now have a better understanding of what the M3 wants from me. I am gaining confidence with every lap."

YEAH Junior! Nice job out there yesterday buddy :)

Came in 3rd, co-driving with endurance racing gurus Andy Wallace and Jan Lammers. NASCAR guys seem to really enjoy this. Who wouldnt?

I just got home from Daytona. I've been up for over 36hours now.

TJ, from up top the spotting towers above the grandstands while freezing my butt off, you guys were looking good. Sorry to hear about the wheel problems, you guys looked strong.

Good luck in Homestead, hope we'll get to work together again in the not too distant future.
