It
will be the USA vs. England, experience and treachery
vs. youth and enthusiasm, and management vs. labor when
Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan takes on Corvette
Racing driver Oliver Gavin in a winner-take-all bicycle
race at the Tour de Road America on Friday, August 8.
The
Corvette Challenge match race will pit Fehan, 60, from
Birmingham, Mich., against Gavin, 35, of Yardley Hastings,
England. They'll race one lap around the punishing 4.048-mile,
14-turn Road America course in the Tour de Road America
Bike Ride to Fight Cancer to establish bragging rights
in Chevrolet's championship-winning road racing team.
The bicycle grudge race is a prelude to the four-hour
American Le Mans Series Generac 500 at Road America on
August 9.

| DOUG:
"Fitness plays an important role throughout the Corvette
Racing team. As program manager, I try to lead by example
– and it's clear that some team members need a little
work. Finishing the London Marathon was certainly a glamorous
achievement for Oliver, but a bike race at Road America will
separate the men from the boys. Remember, the British had
the prettiest uniforms, but we won the war!" |
OLIVER:
"I'm younger, fitter, stronger – and smarter. Despite
his advanced
age, I'm sure that Doug will push himself hard because he
wants to win as badly as I do. Knowing him as I do, I'm confident
that it won't be a clean fight, but I've got some tricks up
my sleeve as well. I've done marathons and triathlons, but
the bicycle race with Doug will certainly be the greatest
challenge yet. I'm not sure if it's a good career move to
beat the boss, but I'm going for it!" |
