Jordan Taylor and Ricky Taylor led a 1-2 finish for the Corvette Daytona Prototype in its home race today at Belle Isle. The Wayne Taylor Racing duo won for the second time in three years in the Detroit Sports Car Challenge presented by Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers with their No. 10 Konica Minolta Corvette DP.

The victory moved Chevrolet into the lead of Prototype Engine Manufacturer’s Championship in the IMSA Prototype class.

RICKY TAYLOR, WAYNE TAYLOR RACING NO. 10 KONICA MINOLTA CORVETTE DP – RACE WINNER: “We weren’t the fastest car for sure. I think the 5 and the 31 were stronger than us on speed. But we woke up this morning, and we said these are the kinds of races that we win sometimes; when you are not fastest and sometimes it comes together and you win the race somehow. I think the move of the race was definitely Jordan on that restart. We had one opportunity to overtake, obviously from second to first, and he made great work through the traffic on the restart and controlled the race from there. It’s a really good day for Chevrolet with a 1-2 finish.”
JORDAN TAYLOR, WAYNE TAYLOR RACING NO. 10 KONICA MINOLTA CORVETTE DP – RACE WINNER: “It was kind of odd how we restarted in the middle of the pack. The first class leader was picked up by the pace car which wasn’t Prototype, so we were behind the GTD and P cars. I was behind (Joao) Barbosa, and the track went green and going through the kink I saw he wanted to go to the inside the PC cars. Both of them went to block each other so he got pinned in and I just kind of sailed around the outside on a clean line. I was able to get through a couple of GTD cars quicker than he did. From there I was just trying to manage the gap. They were definitely fast but I think in traffic we could definitely manage that better and I could pull away here and there.”
