Very Low Downforce Qualifying Set-Up

TOOELE, UT  September 10, 2010  -  "To me, that is the magic of Davy Jones,
the master of going faster, that he able to do such a masterful job with his hands tied
behind his back," commented co-driver John McCutchen II after Jones qualified
thirteenth for tomorrow's GRAND-AM Utah 250 -- without a passenger side door.
The door flew off after a quick spin on cold tires at the start of qualifying, robbing the
Roush-Yates powered Lola Daytona Prototype of a sizable amount of its rear-wing
downforce. Jones still ended up with a time that was only two seconds off his morning's
best practice time.

"That is no easy feat, especially for a driver still
learning the car, to have to adjust to such a drastic
change in downforce levels," added Chris Dyson.
"This is the first time both John and Davy have run
the outer course here at Miller Motorsports Park
and the car is new to both of them.  There has been
Click for More                  substantive progress in a short period of time."

"There is still a lot of time left in the car," said Jones.  "Daytona
prototypes take a lot of mid-corner momentum and that it is
something you have to creep up on.  I am learning how late I can
brake - it is a fine line which we are still learning, so there is more
time there also. Each session is a learning experience.  We are not
here to set records right off the bat, so tomorrow the goal will be
to be consistent, learn as a team and hit all our marks and put
in a good result."

This is the inaugural race for the #16 Heart Car being run
in conjunction with Dyson Racing and Godstone Ranch
Motorsports.  "This race is a showcase for Godstone's
mission to fight heart disease using the allure of
motorsports," noted McCutchen. Joining the team this
weekend is Ally Smith, the "Bionic Bride," who recently
appeared on the Today Show with Matt Lauer and was
featured in People magazine.  Ally's heart was damaged by a virus when she was an
18-year-old student athlete at Texas A&M University. Last year a Texas Heart
Institute artificial heart pump was implanted which assists her while her heart heals,
allowing her to marry her college sweetheart this summer.

disease can be found at www.godstoneranchmotorsports.com.  With their cell
phone giving campaign, anyone can text "car" to 50555 and donate $10 to the

The Rolex Sports Car Series Utah 250 is the season's finale and can be seen live
tomorrow on SPEED at 2:00 PM ET.
