ALMS (HOUSTON) - Two-Time Series Champs Look to Return to Winning-Form on Third Street Course in Four Weeks

Petersen Motorsports/White Lightning Racing has had a tough season by any standard. By their own standard, it has been surreal. With three races behind them they have one totaled Ferrari F430 GT, which required a completely new car be built from scratch in just three days to reach the Grand Prix of Long Beach, and one heavily damaged car at Sebring. With a high finish for the season of sixth-place, earned at Long Beach last weekend, the 2005 and 2006 American Le Mans Series GT2 Driver Championship-winning team has not finished as well as it traditionally has. However, with the drama of the rebuilds behind them, the Dale White (Bozeman, MT.) managed team has its sights set squarely on Saturday evening's Lone Star Grand Prix of Houston. Dirk Müller (a native of Germany, living in Monaco) will return to the No.31 MMPIE/PAWS/Petersen Holdings/Michelin Ferrari F430 GT, the same car he set fastest GT2 class lap in Long Beach last Saturday, to be joined by Jarek Janis (Olomouc, Czech Republic).
