GAINSCO Auto
Insurance championship-winning race car to appear at Earls Credit Auto Sales along with Neser
Insurance Agency
Neser Insurance is revving up Portsmouth
In October with an appearance of the championship-winning GAINSCO Auto Insurance
No. 99 Daytona Prototype race car. Nicknamed the “Red Dragon,” the bright red
GAINSCO racing machine will make its appearance at Earls Credit Auto, located at
2553 Airline
Blvd Portsmouth, Va. 23701 on October 12, between 10 AM and 2 PM.
Visitors to Earls Credit Auto with Neser Insurance
Agency can get a first-hand look at the race car, which is an exact
replica of the car driven to the 2007 and 2009 GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series
Daytona Prototype Championships by Alex
Gurney (son of racing legend Dan
Gurney) and Jon Fogarty. Five-time
NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Jimmie
Johnson is also a frequent GAINSCO driver and, along with former Indy Car
Champion Jimmy Vasser, joined Gurney
and Fogarty for a second-place finish in the 2008 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. Gurney
and Fogarty return as GAINSCO’s fulltime driving team for the seventh
consecutive season in 2012.
The GAINSCO team has broken records
all across the motorsports circuit and the duo of Gurney and Fogarty has won 15
races through the 2011 season. Fogarty is also the Daytona Prototype career
pole position leader with 19 top qualifying efforts, while Gurney has built a
reputation as one of the sport’s top closers as the driver who usually takes the
No. 99 to the checkered flag.
Visitors can see the
500-horsepower car up close, take pictures and get a true sense of high-speed
road racing action. Also on the scene will be the car’s custom hauler, a show
in itself, which features an 80-foot-wraparound motorsports mural of the No. 99
“Red Dragon” race car.
While at the show car appearance,
guests can receive free quotes on GAINSCO Auto Insurance from
Neser Insurance Agency, as well as advice on how to save money on car
insurance.
