| The Sebring curse is over. The #3 Corvette claimed victory for Corvette Racing for the first time since the team moved away from GT1.
ANTONIO GARCIA
"I think strategy was a key thing here. I mean we definitely didn't have the fastest car out there, but consistency was the key thing. We were putting pressure on them. Even though we were not able to be in the lead and pull away like at Daytona, we were hammering (the leaders). We didn't want them to bail or just to take it easy. Maybe that is why they caught some problems, but at the end strategy was the key thing. Maybe they would run into problems, but they had to stop anyway. So, for Corvette Racing again the strategy was brilliant. I'm pretty happy for these two guys (Magnussen and Briscoe) and two in a row. I can't say more."
JAN MAGNUSSEN
"Sebring ranks high. It's one of the biggest victories you can get. To win this way like was said before we didn't have the fastest car, but we had a fantastic team and good strategy. Antonio, the closer, was fantastic.
"I have to say that two hours before the end of it, I didn't think we would have a shot at winning. Once it became a fuel race, everything changed. We knew that a safety car would mess things up again. But this another fantastic day. A big thanks to the entire Corvette Racing team and to all the Corvette owners who came to support us and cheer for us the whole way. It was fantastic."
RYAN BRISCOE
"I know, it's hard, I wish I could stay and be the third guy at all the races. What a great start to the year. This team has just been working tirelessly. We had some bad luck in these first two races last year. I think it's really turned around for us. I mean just not making mistakes. The car has just been absolutely rock solid. I'm just so thrilled to be a part of this team and winning races. It's awesome.
"This was just absolutely perfect running with great pit stops - purely just fuel and tires and drivers. There were no problems at all. It's great to be rewarded with the wins for that preparation. The team is just doing a great job. I feel lucky to be a part of it all."
