Pun comes up a bit short at Fontana

Fontana, CA – Gordon Pun, driving the GoGoGear.com Hyundai Genesis Coupe, finished third in the second round of the United States Touring Car Championship (USTCC) at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA. Pun started third but fought his way through traffic and was in second place on the last lap but was just edged out for the position on the last lap.

The race start was challenging on the high banks of the oval and traffic played a role. Pun fell to third place and it looked like the gap to second place was going to be too much. But after a few good laps and some breaks in traffic, Pun’s Hyundai was suddenly on the rear bumper of Ken Kurtz’ Lexus. The two had a great battle, resulting in a nudge to the rear of the Lexus. Pun eventually put the Hyundai ahead of the Lexus with one lap to go and it came down to a drag race between the two on the last lap with Kurtz edging Pun by a half a car. “Racing with Ken was awesome and we had a great battle. I thought I could get him at the end but was a bit short. I am looking forward to see how it goes at Sonoma,” said Pun.

The teams get a much needed break with round 3 of the USTCC coming up in a month at Sonoma.
