GT runner Team Sahlen has announced its transition up to the top ranks of Grand-Am: the Daytona Prototype category, as it will now be running two BMW/Riley prototypes.
The No. 42 will be led by Dane Cameron, a former open-wheel racer. He will share the wheel of his DP with Wayne Nonnamaker, a long-time racer in the Grand-Am fold. Team owner Joe Sahlen, Joe Nonnamaker and Will Nonnamaker will be trusted with the wheel of the No. 43 entry.
Team Sahlen is the perfect incarnation of the Grand-Am ladder, as it started right at the bottom in the Continental Series, winning the ST class title in both 2001 and 2002, and then proceeding to the GS category, winning titles there as well.
Earlier this year, Team Sahlen was running Mazda entries in the GT class, meaning the DP debuts of the team will mark the end of its ascension.
