Corvette Racing begins its 22nd season of competition – and first with the mid-engine Corvette C8.R – this weekend with the Rolex 24 At Daytona to start the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. To mark the occasion, here are some facts and figures on the team’s history at both Daytona and as a whole.

Imagine the perfect garage.
A Torch Red 2020 Corvette Stingray on one side for trips to the NCM Motorsports Park or a weekend journey along the curvy roads of the mountains. A Marlboro Maroon 1967 427/435 Corvette Sting Ray just for the fun of it. And then my daily driver, a Blade Silver 2022 Corvette Chaparall for those quick trips to pick up a few items at Home Depot.
Everyone here at CorvetteBlogger would like to say congratulations to Mike Furman who was honored by Chevrolet for being the top individual Corvette seller nationwide. Mike received the news today at the Washington D.C. Auto Show where he attended a Chevrolet awards banquet.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 23, 2020) – Corvette Racing will roll off third and fourth in the first race for the Chevrolet Corvette C8.R following GT Le Mans (GTLM) qualifying for Saturday’s Rolex 24 At Daytona. A three-time winner of the Rolex 24, the Corvette Racing program hopes to start the 2020 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with a debut victory for the mid-engine Corvette.
The 2020 Rolex 24 at Daytona is finally here and with it begins a new era for Corvette Racing. Fans of Jake have been waiting a long time for this moment and now the mid-engine Corvette C8.Rs will begin writing the next chapter in Corvette history.
Our friend Charley Robertson of the Corvette Racing Fans page on Facebook has once again pooled together all te info you need to keep up with the action.
We will be at the Rolex 24 as well and will bring you coverage from the race and the Corvette Corral throughout the weekend and into next week!
None of those crazy burnouts leaving the dealership that some new Corvette owners preserve on video to show the world.
No sir, that’s not the style for legendary Corvette enthusiast/collector Rick Hendrick.

As we hear about the captured test fleet C8 Corvettes rolling off the line at Bowling Green these past few weeks, take a moment to go back to a much simpler time when the first of the iconic 1963 Sting Ray prototypes, also known as pilot line and pre-production cars, were being produced in the fall of 1962.
We are sad to report that the two engineers that were arrested on January 8th for excessive speeding in two new 2020 Corvettes no longer work for General Motors.

The pics of the rumored C8 Corvette Z06 keep on coming with another sighting that may show just who the Corvette Team wants to compete against in terms of benchmarking. The photo comes from Brandon Byers on Facebook with the simple caption of “Bam!” BTW, Brandon profile is sporting a C8 logo as his avatar so we’re pretty sure we can count him as a Corvette fan!
