    Scott Tucker, Level 5 Motorsports Celebrate Season of Triumph While Looking Ahead to 2013 With pre-season testing underway this weekend for the 2013 Grand Am Rolex Sports Car Series at Daytona International Speedway and the American Le Mans Series season-opening 12 Hours of Sebring just 70 days away, the new racing season is quickly approaching. For 2012 ALMS LMP2 Champion Scott Tucker, 2012 will be hard to top. Madison, Wisconsin (PRWEB) January 05, 2013 -- With pre-season testing underway this weekend for the 2013 Grand Am Rolex Sports Car Series at Daytona International Speedway and the American Le Mans Series season-opening 12 Hours of Sebring just 70 days away, the new racing season is quickly approaching. For defending ALMS LMP2 Champion Scott Tucker, 2012 will be hard to top. Tucker and his Level 5 Motorsports team, who have competed regularly in both the ALMS and Grand Am Series in recent years, anticipate the new year while still basking in the glory of their 2012 success. The team’s No. 1 target entering the 2012 season was a third consecutive American Le Mans Series championship. When the final checkered flag waved, Tucker and team not only captured that title, but did so in dominant fashion. Buoyed by eight P2 class victories in 10 races, including a stellar overall 1-2 finish at the Baltimore Grand Prix, Tucker and Level 5 teammate Christophe Bouchut delivered both P2 Drivers and Team Championship titles after a hard-fought battle with their closest challengers from Conquest Endurance. “2012 is a year that we will cherish for a long, long time,” said Tucker, who collected his second championship trophy in the P2 class.

    News From The American Le Mans Series - Baltimore 2013 www.michelinalley.com For teams competing in the GT category here at the 2 Grand Prix of Baltimore, there are two races taking place simultaneously; the race itself through the streets of downtown and the race to develop their cars as the 2013 ALMS season heads into the homestretch. Want to know how much difference a year of development can make? In the case of the SRT Vipers, the answer is a staggering 5.146 seconds in qualifying at Road America. And then, there was the race. In 2012, the Vipers, in just the second race since returning to ALMS GT competition after a decade long hiatus, qualified 11th and 12th at Road America with a best lap of 2:08.556. Fast forward 52 weeks and Jonathan Bomarito took the GT class pole at Road America with a lap of 2:03.410. That is a 5.146 second gain for the SRT Viper. Then co-driver Kuno Wittmer posted the fastest GT lap of the race. The SRT Vipers arrive in Baltimore on a roll, having claimed three poles in the first six races this season as they find themselves in the thick of the ALMS GT title fight with Corvette Racing and BMW Team RLL. Taking a first victory at Road America literally one year since the team’s return to ALMS competition, the SRT Viper team arrives here in Baltimore with confidence and momentum. The ALMS GT street fight with Corvette, BMW, Ferrari, Porsche and SRT Viper is expected to be especially tight here on the 2.02-mile circuit.
