HOMESTEAD, Fla. - It was totally, totally a tire-conservation race. It really depended on how hard you drove the car. If you pushed too hard, you would use tires and have no grip.

You really had to manage your grip level with the tires and be real careful not to drive it in too hard and be careful how you apply throttle. It rewarded the patient driver who didn't let the competition go to his head and screw himself up.

Our strategy was that David (Donohue) would run as long as he could, on one set of tires. It was tough for him, because the car just got slower and slower. But the advantage was that we conserved tires and that gave me two sticker sets to go run the rest of the race, and it paid off in the end. It feels great!

Editor's note:  Law and Donohue took their No. 5 Action Express Porsche/Riley to a second place finish at the Grand Prix of Miami at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
