Facts and Figures from Corvette Racing’s Impressive History at Daytona

If you’ve been a fan of Corvsport.com for any length of time, you know that one of our favorite pastimes is following the Corvette Racing program throughout each season of IMSA racing.  In their 20+ years of racing, the Corvette Racing team has emerged time and again as champions of the sport.  They continue – year after year – to be one of the winningest of all the racing teams in the GT field.

This Saturday (January 26, 2019), Corvette Racing will begin its 21st season of competition with the Rolex 24 At Daytona to start the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.  To celebrate the occasion, we thought it fitting to take a look at some of the many amazing statistics that the Corvette Racing program has secured both throughout its history at the Daytona International Speedway and as a whole.   We hope you enjoy this brief look back as we prepare for the green flag to drop this weekend!
