The Sahlen's 6 hour Sports Car Grand Prix at Watkins Glen is held on Sunday, June 20th - Father's Day. One team - ORISON - Planet Earth Motorsports has big plans for this special day for Dads.
Amazingly, all 3 of the team's GOJO supported Porsche GT3 Cups will have a different Father / Son combination.
#41 will have Father Joe Nonnamaker accompanied by his two sons Wayne & Will
"Our team has always been about family, and to have 3 different father / son combinations in 3 different cars is quite extraordinary," states Joe Nonnamaker
#42 will have Father Sam Shanaman accompanied by his son Brett Shanaman.
"We are excited to be driving with ORISON - Planet Earth Motorsports. Dad and I drove with them back in 1999 and really enjoyed ourselves. The team is very family oriented, which is how we love to go racing." - states Brett Shanaman
#43 will have the Brothers Tom and Steve Shelton, accompanied by Steve's son Steve Jr.
"It has always been a dream of mine to get to race with my Dad and Uncle in the same event. The opportunity to drive for ORISON - Planet Earth Motorsports' Porsche at the Watkins Glen 6 hour was the perfect fit" - states Steve Shelton Jr. "The Porsche GT3 Cup will be new to all of us, but I am sure with some track time we will get the hang of it"
