BMW Rahal Letterman Team Hopeful in Canada This Weekend

Hot on the heels of a couple recent wins, the BMW Rahal Letterman ALMS racing team has high hopes for victory this weekend at Mosport in Canada. The track is considered the fastest on the ALMS circuit, and the team is looking to keep its winning streak alive for the final three races of the season. The nearly three-hour race will also prepare the team for the season finale at Road Atlanta on September 26.

"Going into the season we had hoped to become quickly competitive, but our opponents continue to raise the bar week after week," said Martin Birkmann, BMW of North America Motorsport Manager. "The win is a result of all parties growing together more closely and a desire for victory. Nonetheless — it is a huge relief. The confidence that we can challenge the best teams will allow us now to continue to push hard for the remaining three events. There are still a lot of points to go around, and we would like to collect many of them."

This weekend's race will be covered live on SpeedTV starting at 3:00 PM Eastern on Sunday, August 30.
