MOSPORT, Ontario, Canada (May 21, 2006) – Joey Scarallo dodged crazy weather and overcame other racers to win the American GT Challenge race at Mosport International Raceway. It was his second straight overall victory at Mosport.

The AGT Challenge pits drivers and cars from varying sports car backgrounds against each other on tracks across North America and in Puerto Rico.

Driving a Corvette, Scarallo posted the best qualifying time, won both heat races and scored the most points during a weekend of tremendous racing. Defending series champion Edison Lluch finished second in both heats and held on to his lead in the 2006 championship standings.

“It was the craziest weather I’ve ever been through in a race,” said Scarallo. “There was rain and then sleet in turns four, five and six and then sunshine on then same lap.”

When the weather was good, Scarallo was fast. He set a series record in qualifying, recording a lap of one minute, 19.172 seconds around the famed Mosport road racing circuit. He also turned in the fastest race lap, with a time of a minute, 19.893 seconds.

In the first heat, Scarallo and Lluch finished ahead of Dave Machavern, Jack Busch, Kenny Bupp, Tor Kruger, Woodson Duncan and Mike Canney.

In the second heat, Busch was third, followed by Mark Shaffer, Duncan, Jerry Lustig, Bupp and Machavern.
