Scheduled for July 19-20 at Lime Rock Park\, the IROC event will enhance an already exciting SpeedTour All-Star Race weekend. Featuring both an on-track racing exhibition and static display\, the event will reunite original IROC competitors with cars raced in the legendary series.\nMark Martin\, a 96-time winner across NASCAR’s top-three series\, 13-time IROC race winner and 5-time IROC series champion\, will be one of the drivers piloting the historic IROC cars at Lime Rock Park.\n\nJoining Martin as other former IROC competitors driving in the event will be Greg Biffle\, Geoff Brabham (two-time IROC race winner)\, Davy Jones\, Bobby Labonte (three-time IROC race winner and 2001 IROC Series Champion)\, Max Papis\, Ken Schrader and Danny Sullivan (one IROC win). In addition to this impressive list of former IROC drivers\, the event will include four-time NASCAR Truck Series Champion Ron Hornaday\, Grand-Am Sports Car Series and Trans Am Champion Boris Said and 1995 NASCAR Truck Series Champion Mike Skinner. \nAn equally exciting component of the event at Lime Rock Park will be approximately 20 authentic IROC race cars spanning over 30 years of racing history. \nThe event will also reunite several of the original racers with their cars\, as former IROC winners return. Fans will instantly recognize the lime green No. 14 Dodge Avenger\, which won three times with three drivers from three different disciplines: F1’s Martin Brundle\, NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt Sr.\, and INDYCAR’s Al Unser Jr. However\, it will be the car’s final driver who will get to reunite with it at Lime Rock Park—Mark Martin. \nOf course\, there will be cars that were driven by not only the best names in motorsport\, but also those of Hollywood fame. The School Bus Yellow No. 15 1978 Chevrolet Camaro was driven to victory lane by both Cale Yarborough and Darrell Waltrip\, as the two NASCAR Hall of Famers were among 31 drivers who turned laps in the car. However\, that count doesn’t include actors Paul Newman\, Clint Eastwood\, James Brolin and Gene Hackman\, who enjoyed a private test day in the car at Sonoma Raceway in December 1977.
