SunTrust Grand American Racing Team

MONTREAL - On a legendary Formula 1 racetrack where the SunTrust team has scored a pair of victories in the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series' first three visits, a third-place finish was as good as it was going to get for co-drivers Max Angelelli and Ricky Taylor in Saturday's Montreal 200 on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

MONTREAL - What do Michael Schumacher, Nelson Piquet, Ayrton Senna, Alan Jones, Lewis Hamilton, SunTrust Racing's Max Angelelli — oh, and throw in Canadian stock car racer Kerry Micks, for good measure — all have in common?

WATKINS GLEN, NY - Talk about lightning fast, Saturday's Crown Royal 200 at The Glen was the fastest GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series race in history, and the No. 10 SunTrust Ford Dallara of Wayne Taylor Racing was right in the thick of things, coming home with another solid second-place finish on the 2.45-mile, 11-turn Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International NASCAR road course.

WATKINS GLEN, NY - Swim, bike, run: the three events that make up the modern-day triathlon. Watkins Glen, Montreal, Salt Lake City: the final three stops on the 2010 GRAND-Am Rolex Sports Car Series calendar. Max Angelelli, Ricky Taylor, Travis Jacobson: the SunTrust Racing threesome that prepped for the season's final three races at Sunday's Tri Indy triathlon in downtown Indianapolis.

MILLVILLE, NJ - Italian driving ace Max Angelelli rallied in the closing laps of Sunday's GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series NJMP 250 at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville to give the No. 10 SunTrust Ford Dallara of Wayne Taylor Racing team its fourth podium finish of the season and opened up a little breathing room for the second spot in the Rolex Series championship with three races remaining.

MILLVILLE, NJ - Max Angelelli's love for airplanes and the fact he grew up longing to be a fighter pilot are well-known in GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series circles. Perhaps that explains why he's taken so incredibly well to the still relatively new road circuit at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, site of Sunday's Rolex Series NJMP 250. It sits on property surrounded by Millville Airport, which once was home to one of the U.S. Air Force's top fighter pilot training facilities.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL - The defending race-winners had little chance to defend their title in Saturday's Brumos Porsche 250 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway as pole-winner Ricky Taylor got spun off the track from behind in the early going and veteran Max Angelelli could salvage only a ninth-place finish in the No. 10 SunTrust Ford Dallara of Wayne Taylor Racing.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL - The No. 10 SunTrust Ford Dallara of Wayne Taylor Racing will start Saturday's GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series Brumos Porsche 250 from the pole after qualifying late Friday morning at the Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway road circuit.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL - Hey, Scott Pruett: Max Angelelli says he wants his "Ax" back! Four times in the last two GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series races, Angelelli and co-driver Ricky Taylor's No. 10 SunTrust Ford Dallara of Wayne Taylor Racing beat Pruett and his co-driver Memo Rojas' No. 01 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates BMW Riley out of the pits thanks to stellar work by the SunTrust pit crew in the heat of battle. But the passionate Italian racing veteran and former Rolex Series champion hasn't been able to post a win to show for it in either event as the No. 01 came back to score its fourth and fifth victories of the season.
