For Eversely and Lutz, the third-place run was their career-best result in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Street Tuner (ST) class. Starting fifth, a strong run from Lutz and quick pit action from the Compass360 crew moved them ahead of teammates Lawson Aschenbach and David Thilenius, and just ahead of a multi-car scrap for fourth.

With their hard-fought fourth place in Saturday’s 200-mile run at Barber, Aschenbach and Thilenius continue to hold a 10-point lead the ST Drivers’ Championship standings. Honda sits atop the ST Manufacturers’ points battle, while Compass360 continues to lead the Team title fight.
