Fellows and O'Connell Lead 1-2 Finish for Corvette Racing at Road America

Savvy driving, smart race strategy and spot-on execution propelled Corvette Racing to a 1-2 finish in the GT1 class in the American Le Mans Series Generac 500 at Road America. Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell scored a popular victory in their No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6.R with a one-lap margin over the No. 4 Compuware Corvette C6.R of Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta.

The win was the 25th career ALMS victory for both O'Connell and Fellows. The pair broke a yearlong drought with their first ALMS win since July 2005 and their first victory at Road America. "I first raced here in 1986, and I've had more second place finishes than they have bratwursts," O'Connell laughed. "It's been a long time for us, and it's great to be back on the top step of the podium. Since our last win together, there have been many races that could have gone our way but didn't. We had a beautiful race car today and a lot of good competition." Fellows agreed: "It was great fun," said the Canadian ace. "I hated to get out of the car; the longer we ran, the better it got. We've been in position to win and then got unlucky with track position and cautions. This time a caution went our way. The guys never gave up, and Johnny did a fantastic job as always." For the complete release click here: www.corvetteracing.com

Corvette Racing's next event is the Labor Day Weekend Grand Prix of Mosport at Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, Ont., on Sunday, Sept. 3. The eighth round of the 10-race ALMS series will be televised live on the SPEED Channel starting at 3 p.m. EDT.

GM Sales Initiative Extended to December 31


Several months ago, a prominent member of the NCM who has had a long career at General Motors, issued a challenge to the Museum and our members. If we can encourage 100 people who currently own a non-GM vehicle (1996 MY or newer) to purchase any new GM vehicle by August 31, 2006 - $25,000 will be donated to our building campaign.

The buyer does not have to sell or trade-in his non-GM vehicle to qualify. We have had good success to date from the promotion and have 19 confirmed purchases and 17 committed through the initiative program. We are excited to announce that the program has been extended to December 31, in order for us to continue networking with Corvette clubs and members who are considering purchasing new Corvettes and other Chevrolet products. We appreciate the support of everyone who is helping us reach our goal to obtain the funds for our building campaign. We hope you will continue to help us spread the word to your club members and fellow enthusiasts to reach 100! Find out more information by visiting our website at: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/donations/sales.shtml or by contacting Connie Russell at: connie@corvettemuseum.com or (800) 53-VETTE.


More Johnny O’ Exclusives in the Corvette Store


More Johnny O’Connell exclusives have arrived in the Corvette Store! Pick up the newest - “fast as lightning” #3 C6R T-shirt by Johnny O’Connell. This racy t-shirt is only offered through the Museum and is a must have for the Corvette racing fan!

Other new items added this week to the Corvette Store include an NCM Tumbler set and ice bucket. These genuine double-wall insulated Tervis products are made from the same high-grade polycarbonate used in bullet proof shields, which makes it virtually indestructible! The inner and outer walls are ultrasonically sealed so that it will stand up in the freezer or dishwasher. Plus, the double-wall insulation means ice stays colder longer, and condensation is virtually eliminated! Both feature an embroidered image of the Museum secured between the inner and outer wall.
