Stuffed in the back of the GM display is Pontiac. And stuffed in the back of the Pontiac section of the GM display is this G6 GXP.R racecar. Set to replace the championship winning GTO.R as Pontiac's entry in the GT class of the 2007 Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series, the GXP.R will debut on the racetrack later this month at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, where it will compete against factory teams from Porsche and BMW.
Built to the specifications of the Grand American GT class, the rear-wheel drive, tube chassis GXP.R is powered by a racing version of the pushrod LS2 V-8 engine that produces approximately 450 horsepower...
No confimation on drivers, but the car's number has created rumors. Word is Bo and Luke Duke are leaving the Mopar camp and goin' racin' in this Pontiac. YeeeeeeHaaaaaa-- Scott Oldham

I'm with billt9. Bring back homologation. "Want to race that thing? You gotta sell 500+ identical ones of 'em in your dealerships."

I couldn't agree more. That's why I stopped watching NASCAR.
