Bosch Engineering Koni Challenge VIR

I had a chance to cover The Bosch Engineering Koni Challenge at VIR this past weekend. Isundays 4 hour GS/ST race #37 James Gue and Bret Seafuse did what they set out to do - win the 2009 Grand-Am KONI Sports Car Challenge Grand Sport (GS) season-ending Bosch Engineering Octoberfest on Sunday at Virginia International Raceway. However, Ken Wilden's sixth-place finish was enough to keep the points lead and take his first series title.
