Michael Shank Racing’s tireless crew repaired Katherine Legge’s crashed No. 93 Acura NSX GT3 well ahead of when their team owner expected the car to be finished. With the twin-turbo V6-powered coupe restored to race-worthy condition Saturday night, the MSR team cut the repair time in half.

“There’s a couple of things to point out. Sitting here at 10 a.m., I thought we were pulling an all-nighter, but they got it done well before that,” Shank marveled. “The car’s not in bad shape at all.”

Racing in Wisconsin, home to the sister Acura NSX GT3 Pirelli World Challenge program run by RealTime Racing, also helped the cause as MSR was able to rely upon RTR for spare parts.

“[It was] a huge effort by a bunch of people all pushing in the same direction,” he said. “Also have to thank Nathan [Bonneau] that runs RTR; they did everything we asked to help get it fixed. We’ll return the favor both ways. I’m very grateful.”

Job Done!

The No. 93 missed qualifying on Saturday and will start at the back of the field as a result, but Legge and co-driver Andy Lally were able to turn laps in morning warmup where they set the 10th-fastest lap in the GT Daytona class.

Of all the takeaways from the ordeal, Shank was most impressed with the resolve demonstrated by his team.

“They seem to thrive when bad stuff happens,” he said. “That’s the way they’re built. They all rally around each other.”
