Dempsey Racing's year of milestone achievements continued in a wet-and-wild Bosch Engineering 250 at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) where co-drivers James Gue and Dane Cameron posted their highest race finish as a duo with a fourth-place showing in the #41 Team Seattle/Global Diving & Salvage Mazda RX-8 GT.

On the other hand, Patrick Dempsey spun in the closing moments of Friday's practice - 35 minutes before the start of qualifying. Before Dempsey could return to the circuit, #77 Ford Daytona Prototype car went off in the same location, going directly into the #40 RX-8 where the two cars had heavy nose-to-nose contact. Although Dempsey was uninjured in the light impact, his Mazda needed major front end and radiator repairs.
In the race, the #40 crossed the finish line in 13th place.

Sylvain Tremblay took on the task of starting the #70 Castrol Edge Mazda RX-8 in the pouring rain. The #70 was able to stay with the front running GT cars before pitting for a driver change with an hour to go. The team sent Jonathan Bomarito out on slick racing tires. The still-damp racetrack was a treacherous place to drive as all cars fought for grip on the slick Virginia asphalt. Late in the race Bomarito was pushed offline by a passing Daytona Prototype and, consequently, the new slick racing tires lost adhesion sending the #70 spinning through the grass until coming to a stop after striking a tire barrier. The car was stuck in the mud for almost 10 minutes, losing 4 laps to the leaders, and eventually finished 14th in GT.

For the #69 FXDD Mazda RX-8 of Emil Assentato and Jeff Segal, the 2010 defending GT Champions managed the conditions as best as possible until a late race spin sent the #69 FXDD Mazda RX-8 off into the wet grass. Segal would manage to get the car unstuck and back onto the racing surface before losing too much time to the rest of the field. The group finished with an 8th place result.

The #41 and the #70 are now in a 3-way tie for 4th in the GT Championship hunt with 100 points, just 16 points out of first place.
