"Build Your Own" Coupe or Convertible Raffle Only 2,007 Tickets to be Sold



Corvette's newest addition


Congratulations 2007 Red Coupe Corvette Raffle Winner!

Dena Meek from Dallas, TX won the 2007 Victory Red Coupe – ticket #12247. Dana was drawn as our winner on Sunday, September 3 as part of our 12th Anniversary Corvette Celebration.

She has three other Corvettes - a 25th Anniversary, 50th Anniversary and a 1984 Vette. She has never been to the Museum, and her family was planning a visit during Thanksgiving weekend. They will be coming to the Museum a little sooner than they had planned to pick up a new Corvette! Stay tuned for coverage of Dena’s delivery in NCM eNews. Thanks to everyone who supported this raffle fundraiser.

Corvette Racing Runner-up in ALMS Grand Prix of Mosport

Mother nature proved to be a fan of sports car racing as days of rain gave way to a dry track for the Grand Prix of Mosport.

But the dark sky overhead reflected the mood in the Corvette Racing pits as performance handicaps and penalties hampered the team's performance in the eighth round of the American Le Mans Series. Sharp pit strategy and hard driving earned a runner-up finish for Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta in the No. 4 Compuware Corvette C6.R, which finished one lap behind the No. 009 Aston Martin DBR9. An early stop-and-go penalty torpedoed the chances of the No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6.R as Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell finished fourth in the GT1 division. "Corvette Racing's primary objective is to win the manufacturers championship, and Oliver and Olivier did a great job today to protect the lead we have," said Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan. "But we found out today just how far great pit strategy and flawless execution will take you - and that's to second place." Series officials mandated a reduction in the size of the Corvettes' intake air restrictors for this race, an adjustment that cut engine output by 35 horsepower. The Corvettes were also required to weigh 199 pounds more than their British rivals. For the complete release click here: http://www.corvetteracing.com The next race is scheduled for September 30 - Petit Le Mans, Road Atlanta, 2.54-mile road course in Braselton, Georgia. Catch the coverage on SPEED, Sept. 30, 11:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 - 10 p.m. ET.
