TRG enjoyed more success in the Rolex 24 at Daytona, with the Porsche squad securing a 1-2 finish in the GT class of the round-the-clock event.

Following the event, Crash.net spoke to team boss Kevin Buckler to get his thoughts…

Crash.net:
Another successful run for TRG here at the Rolex Kevin, a 1-2 finish to lock-out the top two steps on the GT podium. How are you feeling?

Kevin Buckler:
It's awesome, and it's awesome to hear you say that – the 1-2 finish. We have had some heartbreak hear and some unbelievable moments and this is one of the unbelievable moments. I've been coming here since 1995 and 2002 is when our run started. Someone asked me how many trophies we have here and it's nine from the Rolex weekends. I can't believe it.

It's really rewarding for me to have this happen this weekend because I got to race with a bunch of my buddies and this was a dream of theirs to race here. For me, as the guy who is now almost the 'dreamweaver', to deliver for them is very fulfilling. I'm proud of the job this team did because we have been working none stop on this for four months.

Crash.net:
The battle in GT wasn't as close as the battle for overall honours, but it wasn't an easy win. How challenging has the weekend been?

Kevin Buckler:
It was challenging right up until the point the #86 car broke, because they were chasing us really hard. They had us covered and we were out of sequence on the pitstops and it was back and forth between us. They put together one hell of a car but when they broke, it became a two-horse race and both of them were ours.

Crash.net:
Logistically, you always seem to have an obscene amount of cars running in this race. How tough is it to put the whole programme together and get everything in place to be running four, five or six cars?

Kevin Buckler:
It's difficult but I have so many good guys on my team that they make it easier for me. I used to micromanage everything on this programme but now I do less and less and less to the point where I know that there are areas they guys will just deal with, and I trust them to do it. I'm so proud of them all.

Crash.net:
So a perfect start to the season but no time to relax before you are back here at Daytona for the 500 after the announcement of an entry into that race. How did that all come about?

Kevin Buckler:
