Former ChampCar series' champion, Canadian Paul Tracy will compete in the 50th Anniversary Rolex 24 At Daytona as part of the Doran Racing lineup.
Tracy has joined the roster of Doran Racing's No. 77 Combos/Circle-K Ford-powered Dallara for the 2012 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series opener at Daytona International Speedway on January 28-29.
The Scarborough, Ontario native will co-drive with Dr. Jim Lowe and brothers Burt and Brian Frisselle.
Tracy has a tie with the Frisselles, having driven for their father, Brad Frisselle.
"One of my first big race wins as a driver (1986 at the age of 17) came in a Frisbee Can-Am car - a car that Brian and Burt's father built, so I'm thrilled to now be able to race with the next generation of Frisselles," Tracy said. "I'm looking forward to a very competitive race weekend."
Team Owner Kevin Doran is also pleased with Tracy's participation.
"The Rolex 24 At Daytona is a tough race for all who compete," Doran said. "Paul's definitely up for the task. I look for this race to be exciting, and I hope we are in the mix for the shootout at the end."
