His stirring drive was thwarted later by contact with a Maserati, but at the end the Gainesville, Ga.-based driver and co-drivers Forest Barber of Fort Worth and Andy Pilgrim of Delray Beach, Fla. still scrambled back up to finish ninth in Bell Motorsports' Kodak EasyShare DORAN JE4 Pontiac #54. Barber had the unfortunate experience of getting hit by another car on the very first lap, which has happened to him two other times this year. This time the contact was with the Essex Racing Multimatic Ford, but Barber was able to make it back into the pits on his own despite a cut Goodyear. A bit later Barber was hit again, this time by a Porsche, with the result being another cut tire. He turned the car over to Borcheller at that point. Although Barber said he was getting the feeling it wasn't his day, he still said that he had fun. It was also fun for everyone to watch Borcheller make another one of his amazing runs up the scoreboard, especially when he actually led laps 74 through 77. The incident with the Maserati occurred on lap 82, about three hours and 20 minutes into the six-hour race. When Borcheller pitted for repairs the damage was such that the crew had trouble getting the left front wheel off, and the team went down a lap. Pilgrim relieved Borcheller at that point and drove for about an hour and a half. Team owner Jim Bell put Borcheller back in the car for the final 45 minutes, and Borcheller took the checkered in ninth place, two laps behind the winning CompUSA Riley Lexus of Max Papis and Scott Pruett.
