Tucker racing is now a recognizable brand. The crew has been hard at work being involved with endurance races here in America and in France. These guys really know how to race for a long period of time. They compete in what is known as the American Le Mans Endurance Racing Series. It is a series of races that is based on the oldest race in the world that takes place in France. They race for 24 hours straight. Thats right; all day long. It is such a challenge that most teams do not finish the race. The winner literally outlasts the entire crowd.
A race that long has all sorts of implications that ripple all the way down the team. The American Le Mans Endurance Racing Series is held on closed tracks unlike the original French version. The one in Europe takes place on public roads. It must be really annoying for the residents because the entire continent starts showing up in their backyard in anticipation of the big race. Tucker racing finished in the top ten in the American series, on a closed track, a few times in the past few years. It is quite a feat to be consistent at such a challenging race.
Now, fans of racing know who the Tucker racing crew is. Especially since the crew was the focus of a recent documentary called Daytona Dream. The film chronicles the guys in their year-long effort to achieve greatness at the American Le Mans Endurance Racing Series event at Daytona. It follows Scott as he tries to put together a dream team of drivers. He found some of the right guys and the film shows all the ups and downs that come with preparing for such a massive event. Daytona, like in other forms of racing, is the super bowl of American endurance racing.
Rolex sponsors the event. You might have heard of this race referred to as The Rolex 24 at Daytona. There is a thrill per minute in the documentary as it follows the Tucker racing guys. The entire years worth of drama is condensed into an hour and a half. You get to see how this team prepares for such a grueling race. Have you ever wondered what kind of physical and mental training that these athletes go through? From the pit crew on down to the driver himself, you get to see.
