Corvette Racing Scores 50th Victory in Portland Grand Prix
Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell finished third in the No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6.R. "It's fantastic to be part of Corvette's 50th victory," said Gavin. "The car was fantastic and the Michelin tires stood up extremely well under very hot conditions. We just managed everything as best we could and slowly eked out a lead. It was a hard fought battle in very difficult circumstances." Corvette Racing's milestone 50th win came as Chevrolet is celebrating Corvette's 50th anniversary in international road racing. "This one felt like it was 150 degrees," said Corvette Racing program manager, Doug Fehan. "We had cloud cover all day, and then just before the start the sun came out and superheated everything. The drivers did a magnificent job under adverse conditions, and their fitness levels paid off. It was a real dogfight with a great competitor, and fortunately we prevailed. Any time you get two cars on the podium, you've had a good day."
