Reza Arsham Sets Record for Youngest Winner in United States Touring Car Championship History While Harper Wins a Tough GT Class.

The GT field had a diverse six-car field with some fast cars, but finishing first in the GT class and overall was the AP Racing/BC Forged Chevrolet Corvette of Rob Harper. In the Sportsman class, Reza Arsham won in the Konig Wheels/GoGoGear.com BMW M3, becoming the youngest driver ever to win a USTCC race at 20 years old. Doug Makishima extended his win streak from last season and won the Super Touring class in the ARG/Summit Tech BMW M3. Gary Sheehan had mechanical issues but still managed to take the win in the Touring Car class in the GoGoGear.com/Konig Wheels Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
The standing start was full of action as usual, but Makishima managed to come out ahead of everyone else. Harper used the big V8 engine of the Corvette and soon took over the lead while Larry Bani pushed his GoGoGear.com/Konig Wheels BMW 335i closer to him. Viktor Czapla

Getting it Done out of Region

It can be difficult to go to another region and do well in a race. Because the COVID-19 pandemic canceled so many races in the Northern California, lots of NASA NorCal racers headed to Southern California to race at Buttonwillow in June, one of whom was Teen Mazda Challenge driver Wyatt Couch. Racing at an unfamiliar track, Couch finished sixth on Saturday, which determined his starting position for the qualifying race on Sunday. He put his head down and moved up four spots to finish second. He also finished second in the Sunday main. Well done.
