Here is a video of the unveiling of the new Corvette Daytona Prototype followed by shots from the car's first laps on track in advance of the 2012 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona.

Spirit of Daytona driver Antonio Garcia had the honor of turning the first laps for Chevrolet in the brand new Corvette Daytona Prototype Wednesday morning in Grand-Am Rolex Series testing at Daytona International Speedway.



Garcia -- a factory Chevrolet driver -- took to the track midway through the morning's first session and shook down the No. 90 for roughly 30 minutes, the first time the highly anticipated Corvette has hit any race track.
