Factory Five car takes overall win at NASA Valentines Day Enduro Spec Race
The 2002 NASA Virginia season opened with a two hour and twenty minute endurance race at the challenging 3.3 mile Virginia International Raceway just outside of Danville Virginia.  Tow Factory Five Spec Racers took the green flag with the number 9 Steve Marcus owned car being driven by Sunny Hobbs and the number 66 spec racer driven by Harry Elam.  Both cars ran strong near the front of the field all morning and were in good position when the time for driver changes came midway through the race.  The ensuing fuel stop saw Brian Dobyns taking over the number 9 car and Dan Elam jumping in the number 66 car.  Dobyns and the number 9 car continued running down the front of the field, eventually taking the overall lead.  When the dust settled, Hobbs and Dobyns took the overall win, lapping the entire field in the process.  The number 66 car also finished strong and ended up second in class and in the top ten overall.
