Bell also has five victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, while Redman was IMSA\u2019s first GTP champion in 1981, after securing a hat trick of SCCA Formula 5000 championships between 1974 and 1976. The 962 Bell will drive carries the same iconic Lowenbrau livery (above) in which he won in \u201986 and \u201987, while Redman will drive a CSL similar to the one he co-drove to victory in 1976, sharing with the car\u2019s owner, Scott Hughes.<\/p>\n<p>Before the weekend\u2019s on-track activity kicks off, a tribute to the late John Greenwood, and the Corvette racecars that made him famous will take place, and it has picked up some notable support in recent weeks. Both the National Corvette Museum and the Registry of Corvette Race Cars have joined the celebration, with the Museum displaying a Greenwood Corvette from its collection. A panel discussion centering on Greenwood and his career is scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday November 12.<\/p>\n<p>Many other legendary motorsports figures will also be attending or racing in the Classic 24, and they will gather at the Shores Resort and Spa in Daytona Beach on the Friday night, where Jochen Mass and friends will host a fundraising dinner and celebration. For the second-consecutive year, the event will benefit Racing for Kids, the official charity of the Classic 24 Hour at Daytona.
