in racing today and has
had great success at The

in the Grand-Am Rolex
Sports Car Series and
currently shares the
overall points lead with
teammate Memo Rojas.
The two co-drivers have
already tasted victory
at The Glen as they
captured the 2008
Sahlen’s Six Hours of
The Glen in June. The
talented duo are coming
off a win at last
weekend’s Porsche 250 at
Barber Motorsports
Parkway and earlier this
year, teamed with Dario
Franchitti and Juan
Pablo Montoya to win
the Rolex 24 at
Daytona.
Pruett’s success at The
Glen includes victories
in the 2004 and 2008
Sahlen’s Six Hours of
The Glen, as well as the
2006 Crown Royal 200.
Pruett has four Top-10
finishes in the last six
years at The Glen as a
driver in the NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series
including a runner-up
finish in 2003. In
2007, Pruett competed in
both Grand-Am Rolex
Sports Car Series races
at The Glen as well as
the Zippo 200 NASCAR
Nationwide Series race.
Fans can expect to see
Pruett and Rojas giving
their competitors a run
for their money in the
Crown Royal 200 during
the Centurion Boats at
The Glen weekend, August
7-10. There is also a
possibility that Pruett
may enter one or both of
