GTS Rounds 10 and 11 of the Pirelli World Challenge are being held at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin beginning today Friday, June 26 and continuing through Saturday, June 28. During the competition Jack Baldwin’s No. 73 GTSport Racing Porsche Cayman S will feature Chicago-jam rockers Umphrey’s McGee on the front of his racecar.
“Racing needs new music,” said Erica Baldwin, GTSport Racing Marketing and Communications. “Umphrey’s McGee has a unique rock sound that fits the racing lifestyle. If you are a race fan go listen to the track ‘Bridgeless’ from their 2014 release ‘Similar Skin’ and imagine a Pirelli World Challenge sprint race, you’ll see what I mean. They have the potential to bring a lot of fresh energy to the racing environment and GTSport Racing is thrilled to be platform to introduce them to the family.”
“Umphrey’s is the sum of the parts, pulling from influences across a myriad of genres,” said UM manager Kevin Browning. “Many of those styles perfectly align with the high energy, fast paced nature of racing. We’ve been known to drop the proverbial hammer, and that’s something both music and race fans can get behind.”
