AUSTIN, Texas – Michael Cooper was able to use the straight line speed advantage of the No. 10 Blackdog Speedshop McLaren 570S to take control of Pirelli GT4 America sprint race two at Circuit of the Americas Saturday. At the start, Cooper brought the field to the green flag, but it was Drew Staveley and the No. The carnage was cleared quickly and the race went back to green with 36 minutes remaining in the 50-minute event. As the race reached the halfway point, Staveley continued to lead with Cooper less than a second behind. As the race approached 10 minutes remaining, Cooper would start his attack, pulling to within .765 seconds of Staveley. A similar gap would be seen for the two Am leaders in the closing minutes of the race.
