91原创鈥檚 Collin Jackson took first in the GT3-class SCCA National Championship Runoffs at Indianopois Motor Speedway on the weekend of Oct. 1.

Jackson, driving the No. 53 Specialty Engineering/BM&M Screen Nissan 240-SX, stormed off to what would be a 51-second victory. That gives Jackson four wins in four runoffs appearances.

Jackson held the top times all four days of qualifying, and said the car actually came off the trailer perfect for testing last week at Indianapolis.

鈥淲e did a lot of work and figuring out what we needed for this track,鈥 Jackson said in a post-race interview. 鈥淲e鈥檝e been running this car for 22 years, actually, and have a massive amount of data. So, we rolled off the trailer just perfect. I was just tickled.鈥

鈥淲hen I was out there on the track today, I was just enjoying it to be honest,鈥 Jackson continued. 鈥淚 was cruising around and kind of enjoying the moment. It鈥檚 really neat going by and just seeing a glimpse of your number at the top of the scoring pole. I thought never, ever, ever is that ever going to happen for me. But it did. And that was pretty special. It鈥檚 a really good Saturday morning when you wake up at Indianapolis and get to go to victory circle.鈥

The 54th SCCA National Championship Runoffs crowns Sports Car Club of America鈥檚 Road Racing National Champions this year at Indianapolis Motor Speedway from Friday, September 29 through Sunday, Oct 1.
