Wayne Taylor and Max Angelelli aboard their SunTrust Racing Corvette DP have topped a two-day test held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway ahead of the next Rolex series' round held there on July 27.
Round nine of the Grand-Am season will also be the third and final round of the North American Endurance Championship (NAEC), a series within the series that included the Rolex 24 and last week's 6 Hours of the Glen.
“The track was ‘rubbering up' a good bit, and the speeds kept getting faster even though the temperatures were climbing,” said Taylor, who co-drives with Angelelli. “This means a lot to us, especially with our team being based in Indy. We're really looking forward to coming back for the race.”
Another Corvette topped the GT time sheets: Eric Curran's No. 31 Whelen Engineering.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway will extend the two-day on Monday, to offer teams competing in other series a chance to test at the famous oval. Chip Ganassi Racing for example were busy in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series, down in Daytona.
