RACING BUSINESS (DAYTONA, FLA.) - Grand-Am Inks Three-Year Agreement With Greenlight Collectibles

Fans of the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 will have something extra to look forward to this season with the announcement that GreenLight Collectibles (GL) and Grand-Am have teamed up to produce die-cast replicas of select Rolex Series Riley Daytona Prototype machines. The die-cast replicas will go on sale in mid-2008.

The 1:64 die-cast replicas, which will measure approximately 3 inches in length, are officially licensed by Grand-Am and will feature a die-cast metal body and chassis, authentic Daytona Prototype detailing, real rubber tires, sequential numbering on the base and custom clamshell packaging.

Among the Daytona Prototype machines to be featured include the 2007 championship-winning No. 99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing machine and the familiar red, white, and blue of the No. 59 Brumos Porsche.

Grand-Am and GL negotiated this multi-year deal as a part of the Rolex Series’ increased event merchandising for 2008 and beyond.

The replicas will be available online direct through www.grand-am.com, trackside at all Rolex Series events and through the GreenLight distribution network.
