Lester tests for Grand-Am at Daytona
Tuesday, November 07, 2006
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Bill Lester turned laps in a Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series car during a test Monday at Daytona International Speedway.
Lester, who is looking for a ride next season, drove for Michael Shank Racing.
The team has set its full-time drivers for 2007, but Lester is hoping he might get a ride for the 24-hour event at Daytona and possibly other endurance races.
"Grand-Am has such a good formula," said Lester. "I like the fact that teams don't have to necessarily outspend everyone to win, and this Mike Shank Racing team has shown that.
"My roots are in road racing, and this race has been on my mind for quite some time now. I just hope they'll be pleased with my performance enough to ask me back for the race."
Lester has competed in the last five years in the truck series and was the first black driver to compete in Nextel Cup in 20 years when he made his debut in Atlanta last March.
