Good news for Acura

Patron Highcroft Racing gave Acura its first overall win in more than a year in an American Le Mans Series race at Lime Rock Park in the Northeast Grand Prix.
Scott Sharp and David Brabham won the race at Lime Rock Park, the first overall win for an Acura team since the 2007 12 Hours of Sebring. The Andretti Green Racing team won that race with Valencia's Bryan Herta as one of the drivers.
Sharp and Brabham also won the LMP2 portion of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. The win at Lime Rock Park was the second of the year for the Patron Highcroft Racing team.
"You couldn't have written a better story for our group at Acura and HPD," said Erik Berman, President of Santa Clarita-based Honda Performance Deveopment. "It was a wild weekend with the front row of the grid all Acura. It was an amazing race. I followed Robert Clarke in this position, and Robert did a massive amount of work to help make this win possible. I am proud of all of the Acura teams and I am sure he is, too. Winning overall is a new milestone for this young Acura program. But we have to continue to work hard and keep pushing."
