FTNIDoran Racing DORAN JE4 Ford
Is Invohmd in Accident
Friday Night at Watkins Glen
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y., Aug. 11 - Terry Ebrcheller had nowhere to ga when a
mmpetltor he was attempting to pass got loose on lap 31 d the Crown Royal 200
Dayton& Prototype Rolex Series race Friday night at Watkins Glen International. The
pair made contact and although both drivers escaped injury, both of their cars were
done for the day-
Barctwller, of Vera Beach, Fla., and his mdriwr, Hamson 8rix of San Jose,
Calif., ended up 23rd in the final rundown with their Feeds the Nearnoran Racing
DORAN JE4 Ford No. i7 that carries the oolcirs of the Kodak EasyShare System,
Amp'd Mobile and SIRIUS.
Brix started tenth and the car was eighth by lap nine of the two-hour race on
the Glen's 2.45-milq 11-turn short murs~. He was 3611 eighth when he pitted on lap
15 under a yellow for the Dyson No. 16, and Ekmheller got in at that point, With the
mandatory driver change and pit stop already aocomplishd and the excellent fuel
mileage of the team's Ford powerplant aided further by a race that was experiencing
several full-course cautions, hopes were high for a great finish.
After the crew's excellent pit stop Borh?ller was in 18th place and still on the
lead lap for the resmrt an lap 19. We passed Tracy Krohn on the restart for 17th and
got 16th when Tommy Erdos pitted on lap 21. He passed both Guy Cosrnr, and Joao
Barbosa on lap 22 to move into 14tI-1, with Patrick Huisman up ahead in 13th in the
Synergy Racing DORAN JE4 Porsche.

Borcheller ran his fa3Wt lap of the race, a 1 09.81 9 for an average speed d
126.327 miles per hour, on lap 27, and he was doing his best to pass Huisman. On
lap 31 Huisman got Imse in Turn Eight, space ran out, they made contact, and bath
driers were forced to retire 49 minutes into the event due to the damage their cars
Incurred.
"His car just pitched sideways," Borcheller said afterwards. 'I was rally close
to him because 1 had been trying to pass him. I had k e n struggling to get by him
be-uqe hg w w biwking a lot and hi6 Porsche w ~ l s f-r than my car on the
straights. The air from his car was giving me an aero push behind him. I was trying
different things and I was doing everything 1 a u l d to get by him, but when he pitched
sideways there was no way I could miss him because I was just too close.
"I never anticipated his car reacting the way it did; he went completely side-
ways,'' he continued. "I checked up to amld hitting him, but there was no possible
way that I wasn't going to hit him because I was too dose.
'I'm totally fine physically but I feel really bad for the team," he added. 'I think
we had a topfive car and maybe even a podium, and that was pretty exciting for the
whole team. I've thought a lot about it since it happmd but I really don't know what
I could have done differently. When you're behind the wheel it's your fault na matter
wh&t, but that's hard to swallow in this case. It's just very fru9trating for all of us."
Scott PruBtt and Luis Diaz went on to win the 82-141 race, which was broad-
cast later Friday night on SPEED-
The next raw will tm at lnfinecln Raceway in Sonoma, Calif. on Saturday, Aug.
26 before an IndyCar race the following day. The season finale is a nine-hour r3c8 at
