MILLVILLE — With three minutes remaining Sunday at N.J. Motor­sports Park, Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas were looking to make history in the Grand-AM Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16. Then, Alex Gurney and Jon Fogarty made some history of their own.

One day after Fogarty gave the team its first pole position of the season, Gurney caught and passed Pruett with less than two laps remaining and went on to win by 3.674 seconds, giving the defending Daytona Proto­type champions their first Grand-AM Rolex Series victory of the season in the NJMP 250. They drove the No. 99 GainsCo Auto Insurance Chevrolet/Riley.

In other weekend ac­tion, Jonathan Bomarito and Sylvain Tremblay led a top-four sweep by Mazda in the production-based GT class, giving the No. 70 Castrol Syntec Mazda RX-8 its first victory since the Rolex 24 At Daytona. John Edwards and Adam Christodoulou finished second in the No. 68 Mazdaspeed Motor­sports Development Mazda RX-8, with Edwards .170 seconds behind Bomarito at the checkered flag.

July 23-25 at NJMP is two-for-one ticket weekend featuring Cham­pionship Karting Inter­national and NJMP Sportbike Championship Cup races, the latter a new competition this year.
