In other LOORRS action, John Fitzgerald swept the limited buggy class, and Kevin Probst battled strong Unlimited 2 competition on Sunday to finish second.

“This was just an outstanding weekend for Team GT,” said Tony Talbert, product manager, light trucks, General Tire. “Our drivers are really going the distance, and getting us onto the podium.  We couldn’t be prouder of Carl, John, Kevin and all our drivers for their awesome effort this weekend.”
