True champions push through and fight their way back up when facing challenges and resistance. This weekend @wrightrac1ng showed that they are the real deal. A crash on the formation lap took away any chance for us at the 24H of Daytona this year. To complete any 24H race is tough but to push through 22 hours after spending the first 2 in the garage doing damage control is a mental challenge for any driver or crew member. We will come back stronger at Sebring and are all hungry for a come back - now more than ever. #WeWinTogetherWeLooseTogether #NeverGiveUp
