Turner 2-4-2

A 2-4-2 Whyte notation normally refers to the wheel layout on steam locomotives but the only steam train rolling through the Homestead- Miami Speedway on March 5th came out of the Turner Motorsport camp. The bright yellow and blue BMWs went two for two in competition at the south Florida track. Bill Auberlen and Paul Dalla Lana took the checkered flag in GT class in the Grand Prix of Miami, as well as taking overall honors in the Kia 200 event that was the second round of the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge. The duo are only the second ever drivers to have achieved the feat. The win gave Auberlen, running in his 100th Rolex Series start, eighteen career class victories, tying him with Andy Lally. The wins were a first in both series for Canadian racer Dalla Lana. The GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 was again the domain of Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas in their Telemex Dinan BMW / Riley. The current series Champions were on a series record five race winning streak and left Miami leading the 2011 points championship by fourteen points over Max Angelelli and Ricky Taylor in the SunTrust Chevrolet/Dallara.
