ROLEX 24 AT DAYTONA
DRIVERS:
DAVY JONES - 24 hr Le Mans Champion, 24 hrs at Daytona

 “I’m excited and
thrilled to be part of a championship effort team, I will be going to Daytona
with all the surroundings that are necessary to win the race and that’s a key. We have a competitive car, a
top team and a great driver lineup.
It’s hard to believe that it has been 20 years since I won the
race, but anniversaries are good! It certainly doesn’t feel
like it’s been so long since my first win there. Racing is
something that I’ve done for 25 years so getting into a car, going
back to Daytona, you basically just pick up
right where you left off. To be
able to give back is something that I think everybody should do, being a
part of the Texas Heart Institute is a great feeling, it all comes
together perfectly it feels like one big family. I’ve lived
in Texas, I’ve raced for AJ Foyt,
my daughter lives in Texas,
so I’m honored to be given the opportunity to be a part of this
project.
I’m really looking forward to driving
with Paul, Scott and John, I think the four of us can work together and
do what it takes to win the race.
PAUL EDWARDS - 2008 Grand-Am Rolex GT Champion

 “It looks like
it’s going to be a start to a great season. Leighton has
built a Corvette which I’m really excited about and so is everybody
in the team. The car is going to be very well balanced and fast, I’m
looking forward to see how it works for us. It’s obviously
going to be exciting with the driver lineup that we have, there’s
some vast experience. Davy Jones obviously has a world of
experience he has won Daytona before among many other things, he will
definitely bring a lot to the table. I’m really looking forward to
driving with him, Scott and John. It will be somewhat my role to
try to help these guys learn as much as I can about the car, I’ve
driven it a long time now and I know how it works. It’s going
to be a little bit different now that it is seven inches shorter and that
it has the Corvette body on it but we’ll figure it out
quickly.
I’m very excited, I’ve been very
close to winning that watch in the past and I feel hungry for it.
The Roar Before the 24 will tell us a lot,
we’ll be working hard as a team to make sure we have the best
package possible for the race.”

 “I couldn’t be
happier to have an opportunity to drive in the GT Class in the Rolex
Sports Car Series, it’s a great series,
very competitive. I had the opportunity to meet Leighton a couple of
times last year and he seems like a really cool guy and he gave me a very
warm welcome on the phone the other day so I couldn’t be happier,
I’m really excited.
The biggest difference between riding a bike and driving a car is the
lateral G’s, in the motorcycles you can lean into the corners and
you are going in head first and in a car it’s pushing you out of
the way. Sitting inside something has been a big difference as
well, in the bikes you have great peripheral and you can look around you.
But really nothing has crossed over other than the track knowledge
that I have. For a few years I didn’t do any competitive
racing at all so you really need to get your head back into it and this
year was great for that, I will be in much better shape coming into
Daytona this time than I was last year.”
JOHN MCCUTCHEN II, Rolex GT Driver

Heart Institute / GRM / Team MBR / LRPG / Corvette
 “We have been working
on this project since June. Our main goal was to put together a group of
the right people to represent the Texas Heart Institute, and I think our
team nailed it. Not only will we be able to introduce the Texas Heart
Institute and Godstone Ranch to the racing
world, but we will also have a great shot at victory. We are
blessed with stellar drivers that I know I will be able to call my
friends.
Being together with our group means the world
to me. And of course, I can’t wait to get out on the track with
Davy, Scott and Paul. Everybody wants to drive with the best
people, I want to drive with the right people, but the beauty of it is
that I get to do both!”
