Koni Challenge Series 2010 Camaro to Race at VIR in Sunoco Livery

The Koni Challenge Series version of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro makes its racing debut at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) this weekend. Drivers David Donohue and Jeff Bucknum will drive it in the GS class of the final round of the 2009 Grand Am Koni Challenge season -- it's a four-hour endurance race that starts at 12 p.m. EST.

You won't be able to miss the Koni Challenge 2010 Camaro, either. It's the #6 car, and it's done up in the same blue Sunoco livery as the 1969 Camaro that took the SCCA Trans-Am Championship 40 years ago. Roger Penske drove that car, along with Mark Donohue and Ronnie Bucknum, the respect fathers of David and Jeff.

This reminds me of David's father, Mark. Very cool!

Now THAT is how a race car should look. Not a generic shell with a grill painted on to match the car it is supposed to be (hello NASCAR) but a car created out of an actual production car.

bBing on the Mustang and Challenger, and throw in a Genesis Coupe for good measure and let's get back to win on Sunday sell on Monday. Yee Haw!
