Angelelli and Frisselle win Grand-Am race at Montreal
August 30, 2009

MONTREAL — Max Angelelli and Brian Frisselle teamed to win the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series race on Saturday at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
It was the 14th career victory for Angelelli and the team’s second win of the season.
Angelelli led the final 12 laps of the 67-lap race in the No. 10 Ford Dallara and won by over a minute in a race which featured rain throughout.
While most teams opted to change to rain tires, SunTrust Racing kept Angelelli on dry tires, and he sprinted away for the victory to close within five points of the championship lead.
Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard were second in the No. 12 Porsche Riley, followed by Alex Gurney and Jon Fogarty, who took over the points lead.
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Carl Edwards spun out while trying to warm his tires during a pre-race warmup lap and hit the Turn 11 wall hard in his No. 77 Ford Dallara.
Edwards was not hurt, but he and teammate Marcos Ambrose were unable to compete in the race because of the damage to the car.
Robin Liddell and Andrew Davis won the GT class race for their third victory of the season and second consecutive win at the track.
