24 HOUR TIRE SHOP INDIANAPOLIS FULL
But the lineup of 2010 Le Mans winner Mike Rockenfeller, 2009 Formula One champion Jenson Button and Johnson has been fast enough Rockenfeller put down a qualifying lap that was faster than every car in the GTE AM class by a full three seconds. The car is in a class of its own and not racing anyone else in the 62-car field. “Dad's vision, to be able to follow it, it took awhile to follow it up, and my goal was to outdo what he accomplished," France told The Associated Press. The race doesn't start until Saturday, but NASCAR's arrival has already been wildly embraced and France could not be more thrilled.
Once he had the approval, France persuaded Hendrick Motorsports, Chevrolet and Goodyear - NASCAR's winningest team, manufacturer and tire supplier - to build a car capable of running the twice-around-the-clock race. The effort would be part of NASCAR's 75th celebration and it comes as Le Mans marks its 100th. France worked out a deal to enter a car in a specialized “Innovative Car" class designed to showcase technology and development. France has been waiting since 1962 - the year his father, NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., brought him to his first 24 Hours of Le Mans - to hear the roar of a stock car at the most prestigious endurance race in the world.Ī path finally opened when NASCAR developed its Next Gen car, which debuted last year.
