IT TOOK A LAST-LAP PASS TWO TURNS FROM THE CHECKERED FLAG FOR Richard Antinucci and Edoardo Piscopo to earn their fourth win of the season in Round 9 of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo North America on Thursday, Oct. 1 at Road Atlanta. In a caution-shortened race, Antinucci made the precision pass in the No. 50 O’Gara Motorsport Huracán representing Lam- borghini Beverly Hills to win by .426 of a second over Enrique Bernoldi in the No. 1 Prestige Performance entry representing Lamborghini Paramus. “Richie’s move, that was great,” Piscopo said. “He was not even close, and he braked as late as possible. He was on the limit in that corner, but fair move. It was fair play from both of them. Great drive.”
Dylan Murcott clinched the Gallardo Championship with his sixth win of the season in the No. 84 Mitchum Motorsports Gallardo LP 570-4. His win also cemented Mitchum Motorsports as Gallardo team champions. It is the sec- ond consecutive team championship for Mitchum. Justin Marks also capitalized on the last-second action upfront to finish third overall in the No. 99 Change Racing Huracán LP 620-2 representing Lamborghini Carolinas. Madison Snow was fourth in the No. 14 BAD Lambo Racing entry representing Lam- borghini La Jolla.
Pro-Am driver Corey Lewis rounded out the top five in the No. 29 Change Racing entry representing Lamborghini Carolinas. He was also the top Pro- Am finisher. Piscopo led the field from pole through the first five turns of the 2.54-mile, 12-turn circuit. The first caution of the race was triggered when the No. 69 of Tom O’Gara made heavy contact with the wall in Turn 5. The race was red-flagged for extensive cleanup on the course. O’Gara was admitted to a local hospital for further observation due to back pain. He was awake and alert. Piscopo once again led the field on the restart, with only 24 min- utes left in the race. Bernoldi and Madison Snow, who had both gained a position at the start of the race, followed him. The mandatory pit window immediately opened after the green flag restarted the race. After the cars filtered through, Snow led the field, followed by Antinucci and Bernoldi. A second caution was triggered when the No. 11 driven by Will James went off course in Turn 4. The field packed up for the restart with five minutes to go. Once the race resumed, the top three stayed within a half of a second of each other. Antinucci fought with Snow at every turn. He closed at the entrance of the turn, and Snow accel- erated after each corner to give himself some breathing room. On the last lap, Antinucci still searched for an open window. He found it.
