By Ken Stouffer

Day 2 of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.  Full docket Saturday, including Indy Car qualifying and the 100 minute Tudor Championship race.  We also saw qualifying for the World Challenge, Stadium Supertrucks and Indy Lights.

Helio Castroneves takes the pole in Indy Car and in doing so also set a new track record with a time of 1:06.6294.

In the Tudor Championship, Ricky and Jordan Taylor of Wayne Taylor Racing, would take their pole position start in Daytona Prototypes all the way through the checkered flag, picking up their first win of the season.

Bill Auberlen and Dirk Werner, driving the No. 25 BMW Team RLL Z4 took the win in GTLM.

Here are my favorite photos from Saturday:

I've been around some form of racing since I was a kid. First hanging around Ascot in Southern California. Then, after moving to Texas as a teen, I got hooked on drag racing and did that for almost fifteen years. In between I have raced Dirt bikes and Quads. 2011 Marked my 8th and final year racing up Pikes Peak: Five in the Pro Quad division and three in Time Attack. Future racing plans are in the works, but until then I'm at the track shooting for My Life at Speed as much as I possibly can. Visit Site →
