Driver Interview: Lawson Aschenbach

   In any professional sport, rookies are expected to come along slowly and steadily and gradually improve as time passes. Mistakes and inconsistencies are expected with any newcomer. Apparently Lawson Aschenbach didn't get the memo.
    Lawson stormed onto the professional racing scene with a third place finish in his first professional outing in a Porsche 911 at the Denver round of the 2005 Speed World Challenge GT championship. Lawson followed his strong professional debut up with an superb 2006 season, winning the Driver's and Manufacturer's Championship, along with Rookie of the Year Honors in the highly competitive Speed GT Championship.
   Aschenbach's smooth driving style and impressive consistency on his way to his multiple championships caught the eye of General Motors and he was signed as a GM factory driver for the following season. 2007 saw Aschenbach drive for Team Cadillac in a CTS-V on route to another Speed GT Manufacturer's Championship and a third place finish in the Driver's Championship.
  These days, Lawson pilots the #74 Compass 360 Racing Honda Civic in the ST class the Grand Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge with teammate, David Thilenius. The Continental Sports Car Challenge has established itself as one of the most competitive sports car series in the world, with eight manufacturers represented in the ST class. Lawson and David currently hold a slim five point lead in the championship after four races. Lawson was kind enough to take some time out of his schedule to answer a few questions about his racing career.
