Tonya, "Jake is the unofficial official mascot of Corvette Racing," It was first used in 2005 at Lemans racing.

I was wondering this myself last night and found the thread someone else linked in another reply.

It's a neat story and a neat logo. I don't happen to be a fan of the skull look and won't be purchasing any jake gear, but I can see the appeal to some of the Corvette crowd.

Congrats on your new Vette....where are the pics?
