Chevrolet is ready to kick off the 2012 season with excitement both on and off the track. Daytona International Speedway is the setting for the debut of a new race car, new teams and a redesigned Team Chevy Racing Display for the running of the 50th anniversary of the Rolex 24-Hour at Daytona.

The new Corvette Daytona Prototype, unveiled in November 2011, will make its competition debut with five cars from four teams. New to the Team Chevy Rolex Sports Car Series roster is Action Express Racing, fielding the No. 5 Corvette DP and the No. 9 Corvette DP.  Action Express Racing joins the No. 10 SunTrust Racing Corvette DP, No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Corvette DP and the No. 99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing Corvette DP.

During pre-season Roar Before the 24 testing earlier this month, all five of the Corvette DP teams took a turn at the top of the speed charts.
