Beyer Motorsports Daytona Prototype to Debut at VIR

At Homestead-Miami Speedway, SunTrust Racing debuted the Pontiac Dallara in the Daytona Prototype competition when Max Angelelli and Michael Valiante shared the bright orange No. 10 Daytona Prototype.

Burt Frisselle and Gabriele Gardel rolled out the new Doran Racing last weekend at Mexico City, with Frisselle starting fifth in the bright-orange No. 47 Ford Dallara.

It seems orange is a popular color for new Daytona Prototypes.

This weekend, a new Daytona Prototype team will debut at Virginia International Raceway, driven by a pair of 18-year-old drivers. Jared Beyer and Ricky Taylor will share the orange No. 19 Beyer Racing Ford Crawford in the VIR 400, joined by veteran driver Andy Wallace.

The team participated in February's Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Cask No. 16 test at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Since then, Beyer, Taylor and Wallace have tested twice at VIR's north course.

Beyer will get a head start on the weekend, running in Thursday's Skip Barber National Championship series three practice sessions to familiarize himself with the VIR long circuit. He is also entered in Friday's first of two Barber races, but is not expected to compete.

Lennox will be the car's main sponsor for the event, with additional assistance from Kwik Liner Bedliner Systems and Rush Enterprises. Catherine Wallace will be the crew chief.

While this will be Beyer's Rolex Series competition debut, it will be Taylor's second Daytona Prototype start this season. Taylor, the son of two-time Rolex 24 winner Wayne Taylor, co-drove with his father to a fifth-place finish in this year's season-opening Daytona classic. Taylor also has experience in the Barber series, winning two races and five poles in finished second in the 2007 championship.

Beyer Racing purchased both of the Crawfords raced by Finlay Racing before it joined forces with Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates early in the 2007 season.

Other races planned by the team include the Sahlen's Six Hours of Watkins Glen at the historic upstate New York venue and the Brumos Porsche 250 at Daytona International Speedway.
