Reese, a 20-year Lime Rock veteran, adds that his younger co-driver showed impressive skill in the race. “He comes to these tracks he has never seen before and keeps sneaking up on the lap times. He never puts a wheel wrong, and by the time the race comes around, he is usually faster than me.” Co-drivers Kelly Collins, third place qualifier for the Grand-Am GT Classic,and Paul Edwards drove the No. 7 Banner Engineering Pontiac GXP.R to the frontof the pack in Lap 53, but the team lost the lead due to a punctured front tire.Despite this setback, Collins and Edwards finished in fourth place after beinga lap behind. “It was a great effort,” Lewis said of the race. “I know that the Banner team is an excellent team, and the people behind it do an excellent job.” Click here to request a copy of the Banner 2007 Racing schedule.
