After starting from the pole, Luhr took a lead the team would not relinquish in his HPD ARX-03a when
outside front-row starter Chris Dyson was penalized for jumping the green flag. Once in front, Luhr and
Graf were never headed, leading by nearly two laps until a penalty for having too many men over the wall
on a pit stop, followed by a late-race caution period, reduced their advantage to just over 10 seconds at
the finish.

The win was the third for the team at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, formerly known as Mosport
International Raceway, and the fourth consecutive this season for Muscle Milk Pickett Racing, continuing
a winning streak that began in April at the Grand Prix of Long Beach. It came on a weekend during which
Graf celebrated his 43rd birthday by claiming the pole on Saturday, while Luhr overcame pain from an
ankle injury, sustained in a fall on Saturday, to mark his 33rd birthday in Victory Circle on Sunday.
In LMP2, the long winning streak of Level 5 Motorsports came to an end, after a late-race penalty
dropped the HPD ARX-03b of Christophe Bouchut and Scott Tucker to second behind the Conquest
Racing machine of David Heinemeier Hansson and Martin Plowman.

Prior to the penalty, called when Bouchut was judged to have crossed the pit exit line as he challenged
for the lead during the final five minutes, the LMP2 battle was a highlight of the three-and-a-half hour
contest. The two rivals exchanged the class lead several times and, when the green flag waved for the
final time with 12 minutes to go after a full-course caution period, Plowman held a narrow lead for
Conquest over Bouchut in the Level 5 HPD.

The turning point came when Bouchut crossed over the yellow line separating the pit lane exit from the
racing surface, resulting in a stop-and-go penalty that determined the outcome.

Midway through the 10-race 2012 season, HPD and its partner teams and drivers continue to lead their
respective championships. In LMP1, Graf and Luhr hold a 12-point lead over the Dyson Racing duo of
Chris Dyson and Guy Smith; while in LMP2, Bouchut and Tucker own a 12-point lead over Hansson and
Plowman.
The series continues August 4 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, the midwestern “home” for HPD’s
racing efforts, with thousands of associates from three nearby Honda of America Manufacturing facilities
and Ohio-based Honda R&D Americas expected to attend.

Klaus Graf (#6 Muscle Milk Racing HPD ARX-03a) Finished 1st overall, 1st in LMP1; fourth
consecutive win for HPD and Muscle Milk Pickett Racing in 2012: “You don’t want to lose
concentration and focus. It’s imperative that you stay ‘on it’, do the job you have to do, get in the groove
and turn competitive lap times. Sometimes a big lead is harder to manage than if you have to push all the
way. Winning here again, for the third time in a row and our fourth consecutive race win this year, means
a lot for Muscle Milk Pickett Racing and our partners HPD and Michelin. We couldn’t ask for more this
weekend, Canada has always been good to us.”

Lucas Luhr (#6 Muscle Milk Racing HPD ARX-03a) 1st overall, 1st in LMP1: “I think we were fully in
control of the race. We made a good strategy call in the beginning to save some fuel. That allowed us to
do the race on just two stops. The others had to stop three times, so it was a big advantage for us. It’s
great to win our fourth race in a row. The guys keep on doing an awesome job and it’s great to be able to
reward them with a win.”
