In the 2008 ROLEX Sports Car race at Mid-Ohio, Wayne Nonnamaker swapped paint with the best in GT during the rain to capture an excellent 6th place finish. This year, come rain or shine, Wayne plans to up that result with a Top 5 finish.
"We have the multiple bonus of Mid-Ohio being our home track for both Dad and I, plus our Corvette does really well here. So we are looking forward to being right at the sharp end of the field come the end of the race." - states Wayne Nonnamaker
Team Sahlen will also be entering the #42 Corvette with Joe Sahlen and Will Nonnamaker driving. The duo are coming off a fine 10th place finish at the Sahlen's 6 Hours of the Glen. With that finish, the #42 moved into 13th place in the GT class Team Championship.
"We will have lots of family and friends at the event, so a great finish by both Sahlen Corvettes would be extra special." - states Will Nonnamaker
