Dale Earnhardt, despite winning Twin 125 qualifying races, IROC races, Grand National Series races and even the Daytona 500 in 1998, still had
some unfinished business at the World Center of Racing. Until the turn of the century, he had never entered the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona.
The plan for Pratt & Miller Racing was to enter a pair of Goodwrench Service Plus
veterans Ron Fellows, Johnny O'Connell, Chris Kneifel and Frank Freon piloting the #2 car, along with Andy Pilgrim, Kelly Collins, Dale Earnhardt Jr, and
Dale Earnhardt driving the #3 car.
Both Earnhardts handled themselves extremely well, considering they had never driven in an endurance race, nor raced in the rain. The Corvette
C5-R ™ cars maintained a steady pace through the night, intermittent rain and poor visibility. The #2 Corvette
running sports prototype blew an engine on Sunday morning. Under gloomy skies and drizzle, the two yellow Corvette
sports racers to the checkered flag: First overall and first in class, giving Corvette
finished fourth, after stopping for repairs during the night.
Later in the year, during "The 24 hours of LeMans", another battle of attrition was joined, with both C5-R ™
machines out running or out lasting their competition. This day, it was Ron Fellows, Johnny O'Connell, and Scott
Pruet driving the #63 car to 8th overall and first in GTS, with Andy Pilgrim, Kelly Collins and Frank Freon not
far behind in the #64 car, second in GTS. As both Corvette
side on that damp dreary afternoon in France, it was most appropriate that they wore black fender
flash with the famous number 3 to commemorate the team's fallen comrade, Dale Earnhardt.
