It looks as if Dirk Werner will be driving in that other American Sports Car series in Mexico City the weekend of the Tequila Patrón ALMS at Long Beach round. He is said to be being replaced by Frank Stippler in the Farnbacher Loles Porsche 997 RSR, who has some history teaming with Basseng at the Nordschliefe.
I thought Stippler was an Audi factory driver. Whoa.
Well even though Tafel has withdrawn from Le Mans to concentrate on the ALMS we will not see the #73 at Long Beach, but it will re-join as planned at SLC. Maybe a wise move considering all the carnage that took place at St. Pete.

I wish more teams would follow to take stand against these street fights and poor TV coverage. Surely the team sponsors cannot be pleased.
Stephan Johanssen is a third driver in the Highcroft Acura and Andy Lally is the thrid driver in the #20 Dyson. Not sure why they have third drivers listed...it's only a 100 min race.
Also doesn't looks like Bell got their Aston Martin back together...just the Vettes in GT1.
Just looked at the entry list too. Too bad they couldn't get it back together in time(or maybe they just didn't want to take another lick from a concrete wall... and a Viper sitting in the the racing line).

Stephan and Andy were on the St. Pete entry lists as well. Dyson and Highcroft probably just put all 3 drivers on their full season entries when they filled out the paperwork or something.
Its listed as 4/20 @ 2:30pm-4:30pm PDT further north on the I-5 corridor.
Ya, this years tv package is so much better than last years its absolutely solidifying and expanding the fan base. &$(#!+^ NOT!
