Paul Miller Racing earns third-straight podium finish in the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen

Paul Miller Racing, and No. 48 Castrol EDGE Audi R8 LMS drivers Christopher Haase, Dion von Moltke and Bryce Miller, scored a hard-earned third-place GT Daytona (GTD) class finish Sunday in the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen International.

The podium finish was the third in a row for the No. 48 this season and the team's sixth-straight top-five result, dating back to a race victory in 2014's season-ending Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. The team also finished third one race ago in Detroit and second one event prior to that at Laguna Seca.

Sunday at The Glen, the No. 48 team and drivers had to overcome risky wet-weather conditions and a mid-race contact incident with a Porsche that sent von Moltke and the Audi into a spin.

The team spent the next two hours of the race making up the lost ground, finally moving back on to the lead lap heading into the race's final hour.

"It was a great testament to the team to get us back up to the front and through really tough conditions all six hours," said von Moltke, who drove a double stint in the middle of the race. "We spoke at the start about just keeping it clean and the race would come to us, and it did."

Haase, who had started the race in wet conditions, was also in the Audi for the run to the finish, enduring some of the heaviest rain of the race. He never put a wheel wrong and steadily moved up in the order as several other GTD competitors fell victim to the slippery conditions.

The race also marked the return of team driver, Bryce Miller, who is competing only in this year's four-race Tequila Patrón North American Endurance Cup. He made his first race start since March's 12 Hours of Sebring and ran competitively throughout his own stint that followed Haase's opening drive.

The Glen result unofficially extended the lead the team and drivers have in the IMSA TUDOR GTD Championship standings. Both the No 48 team, and full-season co-drivers Haase and von Moltke, now have 149 points in both championships, 10 points ahead of the second-place competitors.
