COTA DRIVER LINE-UP:
Robin Liddell and John Edwards will once again team in the No. 57 Camaro in Rolex Series competition while Edwards will join Matt Bell in the No. 9 Camaro for the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge event.

TEXAS TESTING:
Stevenson Motorsports spent time testing at Circuit of the Americas in December but still has a lot to learn as the team arrives at the challenging track. Two days of testing will see the team look to gather valuable data and convert that into two positive results in Saturday’s races.

A LOOK BACK - DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY:
Rolex Series--Rolex 24 At Daytona: After fighting back from a series of setbacks through 595 laps of competition, a transmission problem forced a premature retirement for the Camaro GT.R. The race-ending issue was the final body blow after what was a heavyweight effort from the team, which carried the GM Racing flag with the Camaro GT.R driven by John Edwards, Robin Liddell, Tommy Milner, and Jan Magnussen. After opening the race from seventh on the GT Class grid, the Camaro made progress up the order, moving up to lead on lap 69, and then again on lap 92. But the time at the front came largely through strategy rather than speed, and the pace was not one that was sustainable after the car suffered some unusual mechanical ailments.


Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge--BMW Performance 200: Stevenson Motorsports got the 2013 GRAND-AM season off to a strong start as team drivers Matt Bell and John Edwards combined for a run to sixth place with the No. 9 Stevenson Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro. The healthy points-earning outing was a satisfying reward after a lot of hard work from the entire Stevenson Motorsports organization. After a fire in Wednesday’s practice session, the team had to rally to make repairs to the car, replacing the entire front end and sorting out all the electronics. The effort saw the team work so quickly that Bell was able to return to the track on Thursday, just in time to score a few practice laps before returning to take seventh on the grid in qualifying.
