In 1999, a driver by the name of Ron Fellows joined the Corvette Racing team. Over nearly a decade, he would prove to be one of the most successful drivers on the team, leading Corvette racing to GT class championships in the American LeMans Series (2002, 2003and 2004) and to victory lane (GTS class) at the 24 Hours of LeMans (2001 and 2002.) Because of his enormous success and immense popularity as a driver, Chevy decided to produce a limited edition Z06 in his honor. The car was officially called the “2007 Ron Fellows American Le Mans Series Grand Touring Class 1 Champion Corvette Z06,” though it became more commonly known simply as the “Ron Fellows Edition.”
