CORVETTE RACING AT DAYTONA: Post-Race QuotesANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 CORVETTE RACING CHEVROLET CORVETTE C7.R - GTLM WINNER WHEN THAT YELLOW FLAG CAME OUT, YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT. WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND? "I knew that yellow was coming. I don't know how many races we actually won last year. There was that one at Watkins Glen and a few more. I just can't thank the whole
team and Corvette fans enough and Corvette Racing and all the guys and these two drivers (teammates). We all did amazing. We stayed out of trouble. The car is in perfect
shape. Not a single touch. I think that's what it takes just to keep it alive and bring it home in one piece, that's the thing. So, again, finally I get this watch and I think
these guys were waiting a few years for that (laughs).
