“Dollahite Racing has come a long way since we started. Our secret sauce is that everyone has a deep-burning passion for the sport. We want to do better, and we've continued to improve our result. That's why we brought Eric on: He shares that same passion. The consistent improvement is a testament to Ford Performance and the team."
ERIC POWELL, No. 6 Dollahite Racing Ford Mustang GT3
"I'm having more fun with Dollahite Racing than I have in a long time – if ever. It's just a really great group that works and learns well together. I'm honored to drive such a cool car in Mustang GT3 with this team and against such a stacked field. It was cool to start the race against some of the big-time names of the sport and run with them. We had a bit of steering damage after contact with a competitor on the first lap, but we fought through it and got the job done.
I've felt so comfortable in the Mustang GT3 from the first moment I drove it, which is a testament to the level of engineering by Ford Performance. I felt confident in pushing right away, and you don't usually get that."
