Lime Rock is Back for 2012

"Lime Rock Park To Host 2012 GRAND-AM Season Finales
Connecticut Circuit Event Moves To Late September

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 14, 2011) – GRAND-AM Road Racing will wrap up its 2012 season at historic Lime Rock Park, with a trio of races on Sept. 28-29.

The GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series will conclude its 13-race season with a two-hour, 45-minute race on Saturday, Sept. 29. SunTrust Racing’s Ricky Taylor and Max Angelelli won the past two years in the Daytona Prototype class, while eventual champions Leh Keen and Andrew Davis took GT honors in 2011 for Brumos Racing.

“Lime Rock adds yet another layer of tradition to our 2012 schedules,” said GRAND-AM President Tom Bledsoe. “This will be the finishing touch to a full season of racing at history-rich venues.”

Going to a split format for the only time in 2012, the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge will end its 10-race season with a pair of two-hour, 30-minute events.

This will mark the eighth time GRAND-AM has competed at the seven-turn, 1.5-mile circuit located in Lakeville, Conn., since its inaugural 2000 season."
