Christian Fittipaldi returns to Cheever Racing this weekend at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve to co-drive the Crown Royal Cask No. 16 Pontiac Coyote Daytona Prototype after stints with the team in 2006 and 2007.

Fittipaldi, who is making his first Rolex Series appearance of the season, is scheduled to drive the remainder of the 2008 season with Cheever Racing.

Fittipaldi joins recent 24 Hours of Le Mans class winner Garcia as the team prepares for back-to-back races in Montreal and Watkins Glen International. The pair last drove together at last year's Montreal and Watkins Glen II races, delivering the best results of the year for Cheever Racing (a fourth at Montreal and seventh at Watkins Glen.)
