Despite some contact with other cars, Action Express Racing Driver Joao Barbosa helped bring his team back on track.
They may have crashed, but they didn’t burn.
Action Express Racing placed fourth at the Continental Tire Sports Car Festival May 4 after recovering from a crash where Ormond Beach driver Joao Barbosa was sandwiched between two cars. Though the vehicle took a hard blow on its left side, Barbosa drove on.
“Driving that car after the hit was very hard,” Barbosa said. “ The right hand turns were very hard to drive and the handling of the car changed quite a bit.”
Barbosa finished the race in fourth place.
“It was a really hard race,” Barbosa said. “ The last lap was really tough, but we managed to keep fourth place and considering the big hit we got early in the race, we salvaged a fourth place finish and that is what we need to keep going.”
