Cadillac CTS-V In Victory Lane at Mid-Ohio

Johnny O’Connell thought Saturday’s Pirelli World Challenge race was one he could have won. On Sunday, in front of a large contingent from Cadillac, he got revenge for the one that got away. O’Connell passed stricken leader Alex Figge and second-place Mike Skeen coming off Turn 3 on the final lap to earn victory in Round 8 of the World Challenge Series and give Cadillac its first triumph since the final race of the 2007 season at Laguna Seca Raceway in California.

“You want to win when you have the top GM executives at the race, which we had, the top Cadillac guys, and you want to leave them with a good feeling rather than a bad feeling,” a happy O’Connell said after the race. “After all the work that everybody at Cadillac Racing has done, it is nice.”
