Pit Strategy Takes Action Express to Lightning-Delayed WeatherTech 240 Victory
July 2, 2021
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – An opportune pit stop for Action Express Racing saw Felipe Nasr get into the Whelen-sponsored Cadillac in place of Pipo Derani just before a full-course caution flew. Shortly afterwards, lightning caused a red flag. Immediately afterwards, Nasr got the lead in a round of pit stops and held on to win the WeatherTech 240 at the Glen Friday evening (July 2).
“When we started the race, we knew we had to do something different in order to beat the Acuras,” Derani said during the post-race press conference. “Coming in early was potentially in the plans, but in those situations, you never really know if it’s going to play out your way.”
