During this past weekend at the Rolex 24 we took some time to escape the cold and the rain and check out the museum at Daytona.
I had no idea this gem was hiding there! I believe this is the motor that started the program which led to Ganassi running them in their Daytona prototypes and than making it's way into the GT !!

We saw them several times at COTA. Joey was one of the winning drivers.

That was back in sportscar racing’s ugly period, the Rileys were amazing but homely

Such a small world. Colin Braun also drove for the Robertsons. He's super fast, but also an all-around good guy. He's also coached (and driven with) our friends at Crowdstrike Racing, so the Spring Mountain crowd knows him as well since they also race Radicals.
