Through two hours of action-packed racing, featuring just seven laps of caution periods, and a sudden lead change right at the end, Joao Barbosa, David Donahue and Alex Gunrey took 1-2-4 in the Daytona Prototype class of the the Grand-Am 200, respectively, at Detroit’s Belle Isle. All of them were driving Corvette Daytona Prototypes, separated by a lone BMW Riley DP piloted by Scott Pruett.
As for the Grand-Am GT calls, the 21-year-old Jordan Taylor (also of Corvette Racing) was able to hold off the rest of the GT class by a mere .04 seconds ahead of second place, while the Corvette Racing team gets ready for the 24 Hours of Le Mans come June 16-17. Call it a warm up for the young Taylor, who will join the Jan Magnussen and Antonio Garcia in the No. 73 Compuware Corvette C6.R in two weeks.

That was awesome!! Just finished watching it and those Corvette DPs dominated. It’s too bad the Spirit of Daytona and Suntrust Corvettes crashed. They could have made it a 1-2-3-4 if they stayed out. Awesome for the Camaro too. First win of the season was amazing.
