LUKE QUALIFIED 6TH IN CLASS AND 8TH OVERALL OUT OF 36 CARS ON THE GRID. LUKE'S RACE STARTED OUT STRONG PICKING UP TWO SPOTS IN THE OPENING LAP.  LUKE WAS ON PACE FOR A PODIUM FINISH; HOWEVER, A CREW MEMBER DURING LUKE'S PIT STOP JUMPED OVER THE PIT WALL TOO EARLY THEREBY GIVING LUKE A DRIVE THRU PENALTY.  LUKE LOST SEVERAL SPOTS AS A RESULT OF THIS PENALTY WHICH WAS OUT OF LUKE'S CONTROL. LUKE MANAGED TO FINISH P10 OVERALL AND 7TH IN CLASS.  

LUKE QUALIFIED 6TH IN CLASS AND P10 OVERALL OUT OF 36 CARS ON THE GRID. LUKE'S CAR HAD SOME BRAKE ISSUES EARLY ON IN THE RACE THAT CAUSED LUKE TO HAVE NO BRAKES COMING OUT OF THE BUS STOP WHICH CAUSED LUKE TO SPIN OFF TRACK.  LUKE RECOVERED WELL LOSING ONLY A FEW SPOTS AND FINISHED P11 OVERALL AND 8TH IN CLASS.  

THIS RACE SEASON HAS BEEN A TOUGH ONE WITH ERRORS AND MECHANICAL ISSUES UNRELATED TO LUKE AND OUT OF LUKE'S CONTROL.  LUKE CONTINUES TO FIGHT HARD EACH RACE, AND TO TAKE EACH SITUATION AS A GOOD LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND CONTINUE HIS JOURNEY TOWARD A CAREER IN GT3!
