Tom Bootz brought home a bronze medal on Sunday in the 50th SCCA National Championship Runoffs® at Road America. Bootz got the good fortune to start from pole in the No. 36 Hoosier/Havoc Motorsports/Bootz Industries Stohr WF1. Shortly after the green flag dropped, Bootz darted into the lead in turn one and led the first lap. But, on the second lap, Bootz hit the turn six rumble strips damaging some bodywork that hit the kill switch on his machine. He coasted to a stop off driver's left at turn nine.
By then, Bootz had dropped from first to sixth before he got his No. 36 machine restarted. Bootz put down some consistently fast laps, including the Hawk Performance Hot Lap of 2:04.697 (115.480 mph), to be back in contention for the final podium spot by lap five. Unfortunately, he was too far behind Farrell and Locke to contend for a higher finish.
Bootz got the GoPro Hero Move of the Race for getting his machine restarted to finish third. Bootz won the DSR National title in 2011. This now gives him four career podium finishes.
