The winner of the drawing, scheduled for Sept. 4 at the National Corvette Museum’s 11th annual Labor Day Corvette Celebration, will be in the pits with the Corvette Racing team in full, loaned attire during Thursday night’s practice session at Road Atlanta, as well as the entire race Saturday.

"This will be as exciting for the lucky Corvette owner as it will be for the race team,” said Gary Claudio, Corvette Racing Program Manager. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of racing history in the making. We greatly appreciate the support our Corvette Racing fans have given us through the years, and this is but a small way to show how much they matter to us."

In addition, the winner and a guest will receive IMSA and ALMS VIP hard cards, which include admission, for the event and have access to and Corvette Parking at the Chevy presents Corvette Corral at Road Atlanta. The winner also will receive a Corvette Racing shirt and hat, with the guest receiving an ALMS shirt and hat, as well.
