INDIANAPOLIS (January 23, 2008) - 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

length, are officially licensed by Grand-Am and will feature a die-cast
metal body and chassis, authentic Daytona Prototype detailing, real rubber
