Sean Rayhall Wins at FARA Grand Prix of Miami
November 19, 2009
Atlanta native, Sean Rayhall, once again set out for another record. Sean competed in the Cox Motorsports Porsche RSR in the FARA Six Hours of Miami. Missing all practice, Sean didn’t know what to expect. In just three laps he set a time good enough for pole position. An amazing effort for the young fourteen year-old driver.
Sean started the race by pulling out a comfortable lead. Turning consistent, fast laps trying to conserve the car, he handed the car over to his teammate to run the next stint. With pit strategy executed flawlessly by Nancy Lorenzo, Sean drove the final stint of the race and crossed the line winning the MP2 class for the 6 Hour race and winning overall in the 3 Hour race.
"It was a fantastic weekend! We worked hard and the team deserved it," commented Rayhall. "We couldn't have won without Cox motor sports giving us a great car and 1st Action Services making it all possible. Also a special thanks to my father for putting this race together."
The results from this race gave Sean even more records to add to his growing list. Sean became the youngest to win a GT car race in North America, youngest to qualify P1 in a GT car in North America, youngest to win in a GT endurance race in North America, and the youngest to win in FARA.
Sean would like to thank his father Charles for putting the team together with co driver Sebastian Smallengage. He would also like to thank Cox Motorports for the best car in the field. The team led a total of 192 laps out of 212. Please visit www.seanrayhall.com to learn more about this talented young driver and to keep up to date with all of his racing endeavors.
