Reuss is a lifelong racing enthusiast and its been said that he keeps a personal racing firesuit in his car for those times he wants to put some laps down at the Milford proving grounds.

“The all-new, 2014 Corvette Stingray proved last week at Indy that it’s at home on the racetrack, and we’re excited to bring it home to Motown to pace the Chevrolet Indy Dual in Detroit,” said Reuss. “To be able to drive this car, on this track, in this city, is a huge thrill for me personally, and I can’t wait to get behind the wheel to pace this great field.”
