DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Days after speeding across the finish line to win his class in one of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s marquee events – in just his second series race ever – Scott McLaughlin was still coming to terms with how much it resonated within. “I don’t think it’s sort of sunk in with me how big a win that was just from a career perspective because I guess I usually put more of emphasis on winning (a race) outright,” admitted McLaughlin, who teamed with John Farano and Kyffin Simpson in the No. … You realize it’s like, regardless of what class you’re in, it’s such a big deal and such a historic race, and it wasn’t really until after the race seeing how happy everyone was, seeing everyone talk about how cool it is to win, that you realize, ‘Well, this is actually really good!’. “(Sebring) was probably the darkest race I’ve ever been a part of,” McLaughlin said.
