INSIDE THE GRAND-AM GARAGE – JIM LUTZ, CHEVROLET RACING PROGRAM MANAGER –  GRAND-AM ROAD RACING:  “It is hard to believe we are heading into the last GRAND-AM race of the season. Heading into Championship Weekend at Lime Rock Park, Chevrolet has a 25 point lead in the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series Daytona Prototype Engine Manufacturer Championship standings. Winning that championship will be a tremendous accomplishment for Corvette Daytona Prototype in its the first year of competition in the Series.
 
“Lime Rock Park, the oldest, continuously operating road course in America, is a 1.5-mile up and downhill circuit that remains much the way it was when completed in the spring of 1957. The pavement has been replaced through the years, but the technical aspects of the track remain the same – something for everyone.  The track is a relative short distance per lap, and pitting under the green will put a team a lap down, so strategy will be a key in both the Continental Tire and Rolex races. And in the Continental Tire series there will be separate races for the ST and GS classes, so the GS race will be a flat out sprint with much less traffic for our Camaro GS.R drivers to contend with.
 
“We are looking forward to ending the season with strong showing from our Camaro teams in both GT and GS.  In both classes, our teams have been working hard to maximize the performance in their cars, and are anticipating a strong finish to the 2012 season.”
