Black Dog Speedshop’s Lawson Aschenbach was the piloting the Camaro GT4.R, and was in pole position for Race 1 on Friday. However, Aschenbach couldn’t keep Aquilante at bay. He lost the lead early in the race, and turned up second behind the Mustang. Jade Buford of Edge Motorsports to third place in his Sin R1 GT4.

With the win on Friday, Aquilante began in the pole position on Saturday. The Mustang’s driver had a poor start, letting the Camaro take the lead early, but the Camaro was back in second place four laps later. Aquilante took the Ford to the winner’s circle again.
