A FORD FOR PILGRIM: Yes, that was a GM man in the pits of a Ford GT-R team Wednesday. Andy Pilgrim will co-drive Black Swan Racing's GT2 entry with Anthony Lazzaro and team owner Tim Pappas. Pilgrim is part of Chevrolet's factory road-racing program but received permission from GM to drive Pappas' car.
Looking ahead, it's not a bad idea. Corvette Racing announced in September that it will move to GT2 following next year's running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Pilgrim said not to read too much into his drive this weekend as he doesn't know how Corvette Racing will utilize him next season.
"Tim had wanted me to drive the car for awhile and it worked out this race where I could," Pilgrim said. "It's good to get the experience in GT2 because of the future of GM's Corvette program and testing the GT2 car."
