It was the second win of the season for the Turner squad. Auberlen now has 60 victories in North American sports car racing under his belt to equal Scott Pruett. No other drivers have amassed more visits to the top step of the podium. Auberlen and Foley finished the season in second overall in the GTD drivers’ standings.

“This was an unbelievable race. I just love Road Atlanta. Victory on my 51st birthday, second in the championship and now tied with Scott Pruett on 60 wins: this is crazy. I have won here for the fourth time. In 2020 I will try to do it again. I want to pass Scott in the winners’ list.”

“We started from the back, which is never ideal. Then you have to manage the risks you take. Still I was able to gain ground on my first stint and moved up to fourth. After that we were running very consistently. It was close at the end, but it all worked out. Thank you to Turner Motorsport. They gave us a great car.”

“My stints were not really eventful, to be honest. Robby did a great race in the beginning, Bill did a great job at the end. The Turner boys did a perfect job. That’s the great thing about these long races. You always have a chance to come back. It’s an awesome day.”

“We started the season with a win, and we end the season on the podium. It was a hard-fought podium this weekend. The race had highs and lows, Tom drove a hell of a last stint. The right car was in the car at the right time. I couldn’t be happier.”

“It was all or nothing in the end. And we made it. I’m really happy now. This event was just awesome. The last stint was pretty mental. It’s just great I could do this for the guys and everybody in the team.”

“Everybody did such a great job. We had a good handling in the car, and it really came alive in the night when it had to. We didn’t quite have the pace at the beginning, but we ended the race right. I’m happy to end my racing season on the podium.”

“This is a very disappointing way to end our 2019 season. We did have some good races and a good pace, even today. But for us it just didn’t come together. Hopefully we can avoid these problems next year and fight for the championship in 2020.”

“Unfortunately we didn’t have much luck today. We had problem with the car and dropped 20 laps back. Then it was just a matter of bringing the car home. Today wasn’t our day.”

“First of all I’m happy that our sister car got the podium. Unfortunately we were unlucky very early in the race which ended all our hopes for a good result. That’s a big shame, because we got a really strong race car today. Once we got into a rhythm, we were running really strong. I enjoyed my trip to the US again. It’s always cool to be with the guys over here.”
