Momentum Race Group, Godstone Ranch Motorsports, and Karen Garrett confirmed today LRPG and Banner Racing will run the #07 Corvette “heart” car at the Rolex Grand Prix of Miami dressed in the stunning victory red livery of the Texas Heart Institute. To punctuate the weekend’s charity effort, Godstone Ranch announced it will also partner with Momentum Race Group of Dallas on the #05 Riley Camaro GS entry in the Continental Tire Homestead 200. Both entries will benefit Houston’s Texas Heart Institute. Despite an early end to Godstone Ranch Motorsports’ effort at the 2010 Rolex 24, the team’s real success was measured by the overwhelming response to the “heart” car and the team’s primary aim of highlighting Texas Heart Institute’s groundbreaking stem cell research.
Le Mans champion, Indy star and two time Daytona 24 winner, Davy Jones, will kick off the weekend for Godstone and THI in the Continental Tire Homestead 200. Jones will share Momentum Race Group driver duties with his Godstone teammate, Rolex Pro-Am driver John McCutchen II. Race fans will then be treated to a Texas Heart Institute double-header by Grand–Am champion Paul Edwards and five time Daytona 200 winner Scott Russell who will cap off the weekend at the controls of the #07 Corvette heart car in the Rolex Grand Prix of Miami.

Well, our first Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge race is in the books. It has been a long winter preparing and testing for this event, but you never know how it is going to turn out until you are actually at the track. For the most part the weekend was smooth, slowly figuring out the cars with each session.
