TRG’s Spencer Pumpelly takes his narrow GT points lead into the Grand-Am Rolex Series Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen this Saturday, June 6. Pumpelly holds the GT driver standings lead by a single point.

As two GM vehicles driven by Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson were dominating the final laps of Sunday’s Autism Speaks 400 at Dover, thousands of GM employees were bracing for the worst news possible.
This morning, the worst came to pass, as GM filed for bankruptcy protection in the fourth-largest filing in the nation’s history. The onetime giant will receive a total of nearly $60 billion in financial assistance, and the federal government will take over a 72.5 percent share of the company in an effort to make it leaner and more viable.
