Today the Corvette Racing #4 haulerstopped by the NCM. Dave James is the driver of the truck and a pit crewmember, “I could fly to races but I don’t like flying that much. Besides, thisis a nice truck to get to drive and the fan reactions that I get along the wayare always fun.”He’s been with Corvette Racing since 2000 and can’t hide thesmile when he thinks back on his life so far. “Getting to go to France isgreat, and every time I step out onto the track there it still gives me chills.Being a part of the team that wins the greatest race on earth—there’s nofeeling like it.”He was impressed with the Museum, and despite being a partof the Corvette story he was surprised by how much he learned along the way. “Ifound myself in the Corvette Racing exhibit!”
Dave was on his way back from testing in Austin, Texas, atthe Circuit of the Americas when he stopped by the NCM. He says that thedrivers liked the track and are looking forward to racing there. “Another goodthing about adding Texas to the schedule,” he says with a grin, “is that theNational Corvette Museum and the Assembly Plant are on the way home. We’ll geta chance to stop by more often now.”
Another excuse to come here will be the NCM MotorsportsPark. “That’s exciting. I can’t wait until it is done. It’s not that far fromus, and having a track here to test on with all of the major turns from all ofthe major tracks we race at will be great for the team and great for the fanswho want to come out and watch. That is going to be a real draw and a lot offun.”
