All About Insurance is revving up Dallas next week with an appearance of the GAINSCO Auto Insurance No. 99 Daytona Prototype race car. The bright red GAINSCO racing machine will make its appearance at All About Insurance, located at 1209 N Highway 157, Mansfield, TX 76063 on Saturday, May 24th, between 10am and 2pm.
Visitors to All About Insurance can get a first-hand look at the race car, which is an exact replica of the car driven in the 2007 GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series by Alex Gurney (son of racing legend Dan Gurney), two-time Toyota Atlantic champion Jon Fogarty, six-time Sprint Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson, and Champ Car Champion Jimmy Vasser.
The GAINSCO team has broken many records across the motorsports circuit and captured the 2007 and 2009 GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series Championships. The No. 99 has 16 Rolex career wins, and its driver Jon Fogarty holds the most driver career pole positions (26). Now a part of the TUDOR SportsCar Championship, the car is retired for the 2014 season in order to prepare for the 2015 season.
While at the show car event, visitors can see the 500-horsepower car up close, take pictures, and get a true sense of high-speed road racing action. Guests can also receive free quotes on GAINSCO Auto Insurance from All About Insurance, as well as advice on how to save money on car insurance.
