[15] After a slow start to the season, which included finishes outside of the top ten at Sebring, Long Beach, and Laguna Seca, the team initially believed that they'd claimed victory at Watkins Glen in June.

[17] However, following three podiums in four races, two of which were back-to-back victories at Road America and Virginia International Raceway,[18] the team entered the final round with an outside chance at scoring the GTD class championship.
