Corona, Calif. (July 26, 2010) — RealTime Racing continued their winning ways on the streets of Toronto, Canada as they piggy-backed with the IZOD IndyCar Series over the weekend.
Peter Cunningham led his RealTime Acura team to his fourth GTS class win in the World Challenge Championship at the Acura Sports Car Challenge. Cunningham's teammate Nick Esayian rallied back from a mid-race skirmish to collect his fifth podium appearance this season in the third position.
In addition to the two Acuras, RealTime also fielded its Honda Racing Development Civic in the new Touring Car class of the World Challenge. Nick Wittmer qualified the No. 93 on the pole for the event and drove onto the victory for the class in only the car's fourth start.

On July 15, the USMTS Casey's General Stores National Tour rolled into North Central Speedway in Brainerd, Minn. Jason Krohn snapped over a year winless drought, but he didn't do it without a challenge from Eibach Springs racer Ryan Gustin. Gustin led laps 11-27, only to have Krohn take the lead for the remainder of the race to capture his first win since June 27, 2009.
One win was all it took to get Krohn back into the swing of things. The next night, the dirt track warriors of the USMTS headed to Elko Speedway in Elko, Minn., for the 2nd Annual AMSOIL Dirt Nationals. Krohn led all 35 laps to his second consecutive victory in two nights. Eibach supporter Corey Dripps picked up a podium finish in third and Gustin finished in the sixth position for the opening night of the Dirt Nationals.
Rain shortened the finale of the Dirt Nationals on Saturday in Elko and Tommy Myer happened to be the leader when officials were forced to throw the checkers, scoring his 40th win of his USMTS career; Gustin finished fourth and Dripps in the sixth position.
In WISSOTA action also in Minnesota on the same weekend, Princeton Speedway was rocked by Eibach racer Dave Cain battling his way to the top position with racer Larry Zeller to hold off Zeller for the win in an exciting last four laps of the race.
