Corvette Racing Reigns with 1-2 Finish at Mid-Ohio Corvette Racing drivers Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell scored their second consecutive victory with the new Corvette C6.R in the American Le Mans at Mid-Ohio, but the win was anything but routine. Fellows' No. 3 Compuware Corvette was second in the GT1 class at the finish, but a 20-second penalty levied on the leading No. 4 Compuware Corvette driven by Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta elevated Fellows and O'Connell to the top step of the podium. O'Connell and Fellows tallied their 23rd ALMS victories, setting the series record for career wins. The race at Mid-Ohio resulted in the 24th 1-2 finish for Corvette Racing. “All in all, it was an exciting race with an unexpected finish," said Fehan. "We never come away from an event without learning something. Most important, both cars are in perfect shape and ready to go to Le Mans.” For the complete release visit www.corvetteracing.com Corvette Racing's next event is the 24 Hours of Le Mans in Le Mans, France, on June 18-19. The race will be televised on SPEED Channel. Corvette Store “Free Shipping” Offer Ends in Seven Days
