The WeatherTech International Challenge presented by HAWK performance vintage event with Brian Redman concluded today at Road America after three days of fabulous vintage racing action, exhibitions, concours awards and activities for fans. The event has been heralded as one of the largest vintage racing events in the country, and according to famed driver and competition director, Dorsey Schroeder, it is "one of the most amazing events of its kind in the world."

Granted, that is a substantial claim coming from a man who made his mark in Trans-Am competition many moons ago. Schroeder, 65, won the Trans-Am title in 1989 and was an integral part of the series in its final years of relevance. "This weekend is the perfect combination of a famous circuit, a gorgeous backdrop with the village of Elkhart Lake for the Friday and Saturday concours d'elegance and beautiful mid-summer Wisconsin weather," Schroeder added.

As Schroeder stated, the cars, mostly driven by gentlemen drivers who are undeniably passionate about their sport – were the main attraction. Over 460 entrants crowded the paddock. And unlike other events where spectators might be separated from stars who take the stage, crowds of car lovers milled through the paddock area, telling stories with owners and drivers and swapping insight with other enthusiasts. In all, another fabulous weekend of vintage racing is in the books at Road America and the results for the Sunday races are as follows:
