Bennett Racing to debut Grand Am Ferrari 430
Bennett Racing joins a recent run of new teams to the series, with Lou Gigliotti LG Motorsports joining the Grand Prix of Miami at Homestead-Miami Speedway on March 6. Marsh Racing joins the GrandAm field as well April 10 with a Chevrolet Corvette in the Porsche 250 at Barber Motorsports Park.
Owner-driver Skip Bennett will drive with Mike Skeen in an effort that is ultimately focusing on the 2011 Rolex 24.
Bennett is a relatively new driver, beginning his racing career only 5 years ago, at a Summit Point Raceway driving experience.
"We're looking forward to joining the Rolex Series and racing at VIR," Bennett said. "I've spent a lot of time at that track and am very familiar with it. Depending on how we do, we also hope to run at Watkins Glen and the Daytona race in July, and are also considering New Jersey Motorsports Park."
"This grassroots effort has developed very quickly, and our crew has put in a lot of hard work to make this possible, I'm sure we will learn a lot at VIR to help us prepare for future events."
