From Grand-Am
Chevrolet unveiled its 2012 Corvette Daytona Prototype at Daytona International Speedway. The Corvette Daytona Prototype will make its competitive debut in the 50th anniversary of the Grand-Am Road Racing Series Rolex 24 at Daytona from January 26-29, 2012.
“Racing and performance are the founding principles of Chevrolet, and bringing the Corvette Daytona Prototype to Grand-Am is a tremendous opportunity,” said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet vice president, Performance Vehicles and Motorsports.
“The opportunity for innovation is what makes the Daytona Prototype Class such a good fit for Chevrolet.
“Sports car and endurance racing is an outstanding platform for manufacturers like us to test and learn. The design of this race car incorporates iconic Corvette styling cues and will be immediately recognized by sports car enthusiasts and fans of Grand-Am Road Racing,” Campbell said. “We are excited to see the Corvette DP compete in the legendary Rolex 24 at Daytona next January.”
The new Corvette Daytona Prototype will participate in a Grand-Am test at Daytona International Speedway on Wednesday, Nov. 16.
Four teams will campaign the Corvette Daytona Prototype in 2012: No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Racing; No. 10 SunTrust Racing; No. 99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing, and the Nos. 5 and 9 Action Express Racing teams.
