The streets of Long Beach weren’t kind to Corvette Racing this weekend. Both Z06 GT3.R entries were hampered by contact in a dramatic and chaotic 100-minute sprint.
The No. 13 AWA Corvette, driven by Orey Fidani and Matt Bell, overcame early contact and a trip to the tire barriers to finish 13th in GTD. Despite bodywork damage and losing a lap, the pair battled back to finish on the lead lap.
The No. 36 DXDT Racing Corvette, piloted by Tommy Milner and Robert Wickens, was running an impressive sixth before late-race contact tore away the left-rear bodywork, forcing an unscheduled stop with just 16 minutes to go.

In November 1967, three factory-built L88 Corvettes rolled off the assembly line in St. Louis, destined for Garner’s AIR team.
