 Perseverance – Alex Gurney
It’s not the victories, but how an individual handles challenges that builds a champion. With two Daytona Prototype titles to his credit, Alex Gurney remains focused on the big picture while working through a season of new car challenges.
Mecca of Speed: This season the Corvette has had a mix of mechanical race day issues. From a drivers perspective, what is the difference between race miles and testing miles?

Racing at the International Level – Memo Rojas
If you play it by the numbers, Memo Rojas has been a professional racing driver for 9 years, is competing in his 6th season in Grand-Am and has 3 Daytona Prototype championships. Not too bad for a man who as a boy wanted to race professionally and represent his home country of Mexico.
