For the fourth time in his legendary ALMS career, Corvette Racing’s Ron Fellows was selected by the fans as the American LeMans series Most Popular Driver. Fans were able to cast votes through the ALMS website. The award capped a season that started behind the wheel of the first signature model in the 55 year history of the Corvette, the Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Champion Corvette Z06. Ron drove a replica of that Corvette first at Sebring and then again at his home track of Mosport during the 2007 season.
The award was presented during the annual season ending banquet following the Monterey Sports Car Championsips at Laguna Seca. In addition to the Most Popular Driver Award, ALMS founder Dr. Don Panoz presented Ron and his wife Lynda a specially commissioned Corvette painting in recognition of the couple’s efforts at the Le Petit Elegance charity fundraiser at Petit Le Mans. Ron auctioned off the signed pink helmet he wore during the race with the proceeds donated to breast cancer research.
Congratulations Ron for all your hard work and the significant contributions to the Corvette brand.
