Professional racing driver Tommy Milner is ready to move past the controversial incidents between his No. 4 Corvette Z06 GT3.R and Paul Miller Racing's BMWs during January's Rolex 24 At Daytona.

The heated moment culminated in Milner's now-famous gesture toward Augusto Farfus, who he believed was excessively blocking while running 50 laps down to assist a sister car.

"I've rewatched it, and my initial reaction has evolved," Milner reflected. "While the driving was rough and pushed limits too far, the response from the IMSA community has been supportive."

The incident sparked unexpected positive outcomes, with Milner raising $25,000 for the American Eagle Foundation through sales of commemorative t-shirts featuring his gesture. The demand was overwhelming, with 4,715 shirts sold before orders were halted.

Looking ahead to the Sebring 12 Hours, both teams are focused on moving forward. Milner emphasized, "What's done is done. We need to focus on ourselves and run our own race. You can't achieve good results while thinking about payback."

Paul Miller Racing drivers Daniel Harper and Max Hesse confirmed there's "no bad blood," with Hesse stating, "It's going to be clean and hard racing here, and there's nothing to worry about."

The teams' commitment to professional racing suggests spectators can expect a more measured battle at Saturday's event, with both sides focused on achieving results rather than continuing controversies.
