WRPMotorsports driver Willie Phee Doubles Up at the August Daytona Double at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Round’s 28 and 29 of the 2024 SARRC Championship series was held at Daytona International Raceway and WRPMotorsports driver Willie Phee would top the podium in both races. Qualifying for the weekend would start Saturday morning with the quickest time in either qualifying or the race setting the grid for race two. Saturday’s qualifying would be early Saturday morning and Phee would end up qualifying ninth overall and third in class in the mixed group session. “This was the first race for me at Daytona since August 2022 and the newly configured Bus Stop chicane on the back stretch and it took me a few laps to get that portion of the track figured out. The new configuration was about two seconds slower in lap times due to the new rumble strips. It was difficult to get a reference point for turning in and tracking out because any mistake would put the car on the new more severe rumble strips” said Phee. In the Saturday afternoon race Phee would start inside of row five and move into second in class at the exit of the east horseshoe and then into the lead in class at the exit of the west horseshoe. Phee would stretch out a 3.2 second lead in class at the end of lap one and would continue to extend his lead until a full course caution on lap five. The race would end under caution with Phee taking the win. Sunday’s race would start mid-morning and Phee would line up second in class due to his quicker time in the race compared to his qualifying time. At the start Phee would immediately move into first in class in turn one and open up an 11 second gap by the end of lap three. Phee would cruse out front maintaining the gap to second place. Phee would have a five second gap at the end of the 14-lap race. “I was able to get a few good laps in and gap the second-place car, I managed to maintain the gap for the first half of the race and the just concentrated on keep enough of a gap the finish in first” said Phee. The next race is scheduled for October 12-13, 2024 at Roebling Road Raceway in Bloomingdale, Georgia. The WRPMotorsports team is sponsored by MCS Suspension, Optima Batteries, Sparco USA, Total Lubricants, and OPM Autosports.
