Hardeman and Moorespeed Improve Three Race Positions for Third-Straight Podium Finish BRASELTON, Georgia (September 29, 2016) – Will Hardeman and Moorespeed made the most of the podium momentum they built two weeks ago on their home-track in Texas with their third-straight podium finish – a career-best second-place for Hardeman – in the No. 19 WPD/Moorespeed Porsche GT3 Cup Thursday in the first round of the season-ending IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge USA by Yokohama doubleheader at Road Atlanta.
