Our #3 Compuware Corvette C6-R managed to win the GT1 class at Petit Le Mans last weekend.  More importantly, our Corvette won the inaugural Green Challenge among all GT class cars. 

The Green Challenge was created by the ALMS for Petit Le Mans, in conjunction with the US Environmental Protection Agency, US Department of Energy and SAE International.  The scoring would be based upon overall performance, fuel efficiency and environmental impact.   It was a huge honour for all of us at Corvette Racing to participate and win the first Green Challenge.

It was a wild race otherwise, with lots of cautions created by the ultra-competitive nature of this years event.  It was a big grid with about half the field in prototypes and patience was not exactly the order of the day, although those were the "orders" from the Series driver's meeting....

We're getting set for Petit Le Mans coming up October 4 at Road Atlanta.  I'm really looking forward to getting back to racing the #3 Compuware Corvette with Johnny and Jan. 

I've missed the last two races and can't wait to get back to the track and hang with our Corvette Racing crew.

There have been lots of tributes the last few days about the passing of a legend, an icon - Paul Leonard Newman.

My apologies  for  the  delay  in  updating  my  blog.   Our family has been preoccupied with our son Patrick, who suffered some serious damage to his left hand in a freak accident.   He has had two surgeries since August 16, and is on the mend!

Our finish at the Centurion Boats at The Glen, wasn’t exactly the result we were looking for.  But 13^th place did help the #01 Dale Earnhardt Inc., entry in the overall owner’s points position.

When I arrived in the garage area on Friday morning, it was great to see the #01 decorated with the color and logos of Bass Pro Shops, RedHead apparel and Tracker Boats (see picture above).  It was very cool looking and, I thought, very fitting for this ‘ole Canadian boy!

I’m not as good as I’d like to be after today’s practice sessions, but I’m sure that’s everybody’s complaint. We’re still trying to find a little bit more rear grip in all these quick chicane transitions. Between that  and stopping – we’ve tried a couple of different combinations of pads and rotors – we’re still undecided. 

The last practice we didn’t get a lot of time that messed up our test plans a little bit, which is typical of a race weekend. For tomorrow, we’ll keep plugging away!

I’m really happy with the JR Motorsports team, and the GoDaddy #5 Chevrolet. I am confident that tomorrow we’ll have a good qualifying and race.

(Fellows was 8th fastest in his GoDaddy.com Chevrolet with a time of 103.973).

We are getting ready for the first day of NASCAR Nationwide racing here at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. I have a great opportunity with JR Motorsports to drive the #5 Go Daddy Nationwide Chevrolet. I am excited about working with the team, and looking forward to a competitive race.
