BRASELTON, Ga. (March 16, 2019) – The first-ever day of Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA® Super Tour competition Saturday on Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta’s 2.54-mile, 12-turn circuit saw nearly 300 entries across 29 different car classes. That made for some interesting competition during eight, 25-minute races at the event hosted by SCCA’s Atlanta Region.

At the start of the SM race, Jared Thomas slipped to the lead followed by Steyn, Preston Pardus and Jim Drago. The four drivers put a gap back to the rest of the field and where ticking off laps. Working lap 10, Steyn took the lead after placing a lot of pressure on Thomas. Just then, a full-course yellow was displayed due to an on-track incident, and the race was checkered a few laps later with Steyn’s No. 39 Adept Studios/Rossini Engines/OPM Autosports/G-Loc Brakes car claiming the SM win.

“Jared and I decided to work together” Steyn said. “Just before we went to the full-course yellow, Jared went a little wide in Turn 10A and … I went underneath him.”
