Notebook: WKLU Owner Russ Oasis to Drive in Rolex 24 at Daytona

This morning as I listened to my favorite music radio station, WKLU 101.9 FM, I heard that station owner Russ Oasis will be driving in the 2006 Rolex 24 at Daytona. That’s cool!

Russ will be part of the driver line-up for the Grand-Am GT #06 Banner Engineering Chevy Corvette C6. Also driving will be car owner Leighton Reese and drivers Tommy Archer and Dino Crescentini. The car will be sponsored by Banner Engineering, WKLU in Indianapolis, The Hair Cuttery, Centric Parts and Las Vegas Bike Fest.

Here are some photos of the car. You can watch for it on Speed Channel this weekend (Jan 28-29).
